BADGE APPLICATIONS:

INSTRUCTIONS AND ASSESSMENT


Instruction and assessment will be based on the syllabus and guidelines for each subject/badge. They are laid with the intention to encourage interest in the subject and the attainment of knowledge and/or skills which could be applied practically.

Subjects taken at Secondary Two with a pass above 60% in Overall Mark Grade will be recognized as a pass in the appropriate subject/badge.

With the change in the educational landscape, some subjects are also taken in Secondary One. The candidate is required to produce a documentary proof of the subject that is taken throughout the academic year in order to qualify for the badge.  The 60% requirement remains unchanged.

Subjects that involve the use of project work or practical work as assessment tool require realistic period of lessons conducted before the candidates are put to a test of the knowledge learnt throughout the course.

Notes, teaching materials and assessment guidelines may be developed by the National Headquarters, as a separate document to ensure standardization and fair assessment across all schools.  Schools and Districts are encouraged to refer to these materials when conducting the different badge-related courses.
