However, this did not mean that all students had access to all science subjects. According to Muralidhar (1989) only the 'bright' students had this opportunity. Thus, it was not uncommon for students to leave school without any exposure to science subjects. Furthermore, the prescriptions were academically oriented, mainly geared to the minority who went on to upper secondary and tertiary studies. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Pacific Curriculum Network, 7(1), p. 8-9 | Publisher: | University of the South Pacific, Institute of Education | Place of Publication: | Fiji | ISSN: | 1562-4706 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 130212 Science, Technology and Engineering Curriculum and Pedagogy 130105 Primary Education (excl.
