Full SBB
Discover how Full SBB removes traditional streaming, letting students learn each subject at the right level for them.
Full Subject-Based Banding (Full SBB) is part of MOE's ongoing efforts to nurture the joy of learning and develop multiple pathways to cater to the different strengths and interests of our students.
With Full SBB, we are moving towards a secondary school education where students learn each subject at the level that best caters to their overall strengths, interests and learning needs. Under Full SBB, there will no longer be separate Express, N(A), and N(T) streams, and students will be in mixed form classes where they can interact with peers of different strengths and interests.
Subjects such as Art, Design and Technology, Food and Consumer Education, Music will be offered as an accompanying set of Common Curriculum subjects at lower secondary.
Starting from the 2024 Secondary 1 cohort, Full SBB will be implemented in our secondary education system. We are excited to share we had piloted Full SBB and will continue to provide greater customisation and flexibilty for all our students' learning.
