How do I choose subjects for the FET Phase?
Because a learner's potential career path depends on his/her subject choices, it's important to consider the following factors:
- Does the learner show interest in the subject?
- What are the specific academic requirements for acceptance in specific fields of study?
- How much assistance will be needed with a specific subject?
Also consider the specific
subject requirements and whether the subject combinations match the course requirements of the relevant tertiary education institution. For more information regarding specific subject groups,
visit our Youtube channel.
