My suspicion is they are going to use the British model of “A Levels and O Levels”.

But I will say this. In the UK....they don’t have “Core Curriculum”. They go to college for 3 years and study nothing but their major.

Both my kids did “Dual Enrollment” at our local college...and both graduated HS with Associate’s degrees.

We paid for it....but it was still cheaper than sending them to uni. And they got scholarships for the rest. BY THEIR MERIT!

Our kids also did the dual enrollment. Had almost half of their college credits, by the time they graduated HS. (Scholarships, as well.)

And, at a MUCH cheaper/class rate than the University classes.

It’s a great program.

Tell me about it. The college I teach in the Bay Area has an Associates of Applied Science in Games Programming.

Out of the 64 semester hours, 25% are liberal arts classes.

While in Singapore (Diploma is the same as our AA/AS/AAS) 200% of the classes were Games Programming. The top-up Bachelor Degree was likewise 100% Games Programming
