Position

Applied Learning (ApL) is an integral part of the senior secondary curriculum. It aims at:

• offering diverse learning programmes for students with interest and inclination in areas other than those provided by the existing school curriculum;
• providing students with the opportunities to explore their orientation for life-long learning and career aspirations in specific areas;
• enabling students to develop generic skills, values and attitudes, acquire the knowledge and skills as well as understand the workplace requirement of a particular professional or vocational area; and
• offering a substantial outcome for students to obtain recognition for further studies, work, or both at the senior secondary level.

Direction

ApL courses are designed according to the principles of balance, coherence, articulation and responsiveness to offer a sound learning platform for students.  The courses are provided by various course providers including tertiary institutes and professional bodies.

There are six areas of studies for ApL: 

• Creative Studies
• Media and Communication
• Business, Management and Law
• Services
• Applied Science
• Engineering and Production

Schools are encouraged to adopt different modes of implementation by allowing students to enrol in a wide spectrum of ApL courses according to their own interests and learning needs at the venue of course providers, and / or working collaboratively with course providers to offer selected ApL courses to students at school.
