Computing
INTRODUCTION
Computing is an applied subject that is first introduced by the Ministry in 2017. The subject is aligned to Singapore's Smart Nation initiative, with the aim of exposing our students to programming at a young age and “enabling the most talented and interested ones to be able to go far and develop their talent in IT in schools". ACS(Barker Road) started offering the GCE O-level subject as an elective subject to our Secondary 3 Express students in 2018.
