Under the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC), Senior Secondary students are expected to choose career pathways.

At the Senior Secondary level (Grades 10–12), students begin to specialize in pathways that align with their interests, abilities, and career aspirations.

This stage prepares learners for further education, vocational training, or entry into the workforce.

From 2026, Senior Secondary schools will offer three main pathways. Learners choose their pathway based on competencies, interests, and career goals.

The CBC is organized into the following structure:

Early Years Education includes Pre-primary (PP1 & PP2) and Lower Primary (Grades 1–3), laying the foundation for basic literacy, numeracy, and social skills.

Middle School Education encompasses Upper Primary (Grades 4–6) and Junior Secondary (Grades 7–9), with a curriculum that develops critical thinking, creativity, and foundational competencies across various subjects.

Senior Secondary Education spans Grades 10–12, where learners begin to specialize in pathways that align with their interests, abilities, and potential career goals.

Tertiary and higher education encompasses Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), universities, and other specialized institutions, offering advanced knowledge, skills, and professional training for further studies or employment.
