GAS
General Academic Strand
WHAT IS GAS?
GAS (General Academics Strand) is the most
flexible strand among the four strands offered in the
Academic Track because students get to learn and
experience something from all the other strands.
GAS is essentially for students who are undecided
on which strand to take.
WHY GENERAL
ACADEMIC STRAND
WAS IMPLEMENTED?
-It is to give ways for the
undecided students to think about
their preferred degree once they
step into college. It is just a guide
point in the lives of students to
help them make up their mind with
what they really want to be once
they had entered the adult life. The
students that wanted to pursue a
major in college related to
education are to be place in this
strand.
