Pros & Cons of Academic Tracking

Navigation : Home

Academic tracking assigns pupils to one of three "tracks" based on their academic ability: high, average, or low. Using test results from individual classes and disciplines, the system assesses student performance at a granular level.

Academic tracking presents several key benefits for education: (1) It creates individualized learning paths, (2) It prevents apathy, (3) It encourages creative instruction, (4) It promotes healthy competition between students.

Cons of academic tracking : (1) It’s subject to stereotyping, (2) It can lead to unequal education (3) It can have a negative impact on confidence

Academic Track

Navigation : Home

One of the significant features of the K–12 system is the integration of specialized tracks designed to help students determine their respective career paths. Such as the academic track that consists of courses that will make college life easier to adjust to in terms of subject variety and, to a certain degree, difficulty. The academic track is simply the track that prepares students for the most common college courses, such as business management, engineering, and the sciences.

The term "academic track" typically refers to an educational pathway or program that is focused on preparing students for higher education, particularly in a university or college setting. In many educational systems, there are different tracks or streams that students can choose based on their interests, career goals, and academic strengths. This is implemented at the secondary level.

Upon choosing the academic track, students can choose from four different strands:

(1) Accountancy, Business and Management (ABM) Strand

-The ABM Strand is for those who plan to take up business-related courses in higher education or engage in business, entrepreneurship, and other business-related careers.

(2) Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Strand,

-SHS students who are inclined toward, or have the aptitude for, Math, Science and Engineering studies can enroll in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Strand.

(3) Humanities and Social Science (HUMSS) Strand and

-Another strand in the academic track is the Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) Strand for learners who want to pursue these fields of study at the university level.

(4) General Academic Strand (GAS)

-The fourth strand in the Academic Track is the General Academic Strand, which has subjects selected from the different strands. This strand is ideal for SHS students who have not yet decided on a particular specialization. This strand, which is also a viable offering in secondary schools with a low student population, allows for electives that may be a combination of related subjects from the other tracks or strands in the SHS curriculum.
