Noted. Thanks phtthp. Triple science by itself is very tough. To add on Econs is not feasible. Good call by the school.

I went for TKGS Open House last Sat. The principal confirmed they are one of only 5 schools in Sg that offers Econs at secondary level. She confirms the subject is business Economics, not home Economics.

Hi tyeogh or any parent / student,

Besides TKGS, do u know which are the other four Secondary schools throughout entire Singapore, that offered GCE \"O\" level Business Econs (2286) ?
(since u mentioned 5 schools, above)

As many Upper Secondary (3 & 4) students would have realized, the subject combination chosen / selected, at Upper Sec : is crucial, very important, as this determine what kind of subject combination subsequently an A-level student in a Junior College, can possibly continue with.

In the Junior Colleges, for Science students :
since A-level subject combination like BCME H2 (Bio, Chem, Maths, Econs) or PCME H2 (Physics, Chem, Maths, Econs) are highly popular (favored upon), it will be great, if more \"O\" level students are given the privileged opportunity & a good fundamental exposure, to start learning Financial Economics (2286) earlier during Upper Secondary school days, before they embark forward, into their Junior College journey.


I only come across three Sec schools, so far -

(1) Tanjong Katong Girls' Secondary,


(2) Westwood Secondary,

At end of Sec 2 (Express), below article mentioned that to qualify to study Business Econs : Sec 2 students from Westwood Secondary, must score at least 65 percent for English, and a pass in Geography.
