Secondary Education Development Program (SEDP)

This new secondary education curriculum in effect is designed to continue pupil development started by PRODED.

Aims to continue what was started in the elementary grades to high school to improve the quality of graduates, broaden accessibility to quality secondary education and promote equity in the allocation of resources, especially at the local level.

Why the need to change the 1973 revised secondary education Program?
1. The multidisciplinary and inter-disciplinary approaches which were good features of the 1973 revised curriculum were not reflected in the instructional materials or in the classroom processes; 2. The desire to develop among students good work attitudes fell short of expectations; and 3. The conceptual approach to problem solving in the social sciences proved ineffective for learning the content of social science subjects, etc
