List of 125 Senior School Social Sciences Subject Combinations for Grade 10 Learners.

CBE has 125 subject combinations in the Social Sciences pathway for Grade 10 students moving to senior school.

The expansion of subject options is a strategic shift from academic streaming to learner-centred pathways that prioritise individual strengths, career interests and the dynamic needs of the Kenyan economy. The institution added that this is in line with the government’s commitment to implement education reforms anchored in the Basic Education Curriculum Framework.

The placement into subject combinations will be guided by learners’ performance, interest inventories and capacity assessments conducted by school-based selection panels under the supervision of the Ministry of Education.
