Saudi: MoE launches track system for secondary school level

The Ministry of Education launched the new tracks system for the secondary level of school education during the current academic year.

The system aims at presenting a developed model for the students of secondary level that combines the requirements of the 21st century and the important scientific and skill aspects of the student in the employment market.

The secondary level tracks include nine semesters spread over three years, starting with the first common year in which the student pursues studies in various scientific and humanities fields. This will be followed by two specialized years, where the student enrols in any one of these two tracks that suit his aptitude and abilities and provides him with modern skills and competencies so as to enable him to graduate from secondary school.

There will be a set of conditions and criteria to be fulfilled within five tracks, each of which offers different and renewable learning opportunities. These are the general track; the Shariah track; the computer science and engineering track; the health and life track; and the business management track.
