In this proposed curriculum review, the time students spend in class is reduces. Students will spend a period of the day (half of the day) in project work and co-curricular activities.

This indicates according to the proposed framework that, the school day opening for S6 will start at 8:00am and end at 2:55pm; and at 3:00pm co-curricular activities will begin and end at 4:30pm.

In the review still, if a candidate fails to give good performance in one subject but excels well in the other instead of repeating both subjects; the candidate will only be required to retake the failed subject.

Note; the current system has been requiring students to retake all the failed subjects.
