The department of basic education plans to further review its Mathematics, Science and Technology (MST) curriculum to better prepare students for the fourth industrial revolution.

The department said that it also plans to accelerate the introduction of academic, technical and occupational schools which will increase accessibility to special focus schools, with greater emphasis on several low participating subjects including agricultural sciences and technology.

Data presented by the department shows that the National Senior Certificate marks for these subjects have continued to hover around the 50% level while other subjects have been recording higher performances in recent years.
