The system combines the requirements of the 21st century and the important scientific and skill aspects needed for students in the employment market

Dubai, May 18, 2022: The Ministry of Education in Saudi Arabia has launched the new tracks system at the secondary level of school education for the current academic year. 

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

It includes 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 specialised years, where the students enroll in any one of these two tracks that suits their  aptitude and abilities, and provides them with modern skills and competencies so as to enable themim 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. The five tracks include the general track, the Shariah track, the computer science and engineering track, the health and life track, and the business management track.
