In teaching the H1 syllabus, the following should be noted: The H1 Biology syllabus has about half the content load of the H2 Biology syllabus, while maintaining the same rigour. It is designed as a contrasting subject and is intended for foundational study to provide students with a sufficient understanding of the subject rather than just for appreciation. The H1 Biology syllabus is distilled from the H2 Biology syllabus. At the ‘A’ level, students have the choice of offering Biology at H1 or H2 levels. In addition, at the ‘A’ level, the syllabus will enable the students to look deeper into how life works at the molecular level, yet balanced with the study of Evolution. At the secondary school levels, the syllabus will help the students relate concepts at the systems level to the micro-level. Starting at the Primary school levels, the focus is for the students to be exposed at the systems level. The proposed framework will chart a new direction in Biology education in schools. ‘A’ level: How life works at the cellular and molecular level. Lower Secondary Science to ‘O’ level Biology: How life works at the physiological level Primary 3 to Primary 6: How life works at the systems level The approach we have taken to organise Biology education from Primary to ‘A’ levels is as follows: a.

This poses a challenge in the development of Biology education in integrating the fundamental concepts, skills and new knowledge in Biology into a framework that is made accessible to students at different levels. Many new and important fields of Biology have emerged as evident from the sprouting of scientific journals catering to niche areas of study and research.

With recent advancements in the Life Sciences, changes in knowledge have been tremendous.
