CBE / CBC
CBE focuses on mastery, application, and pathways.
Competency-Based Education replaces the traditional exam-focused system with a 2-6-3-3-3 structure. It ensures learners master specific abilities and apply knowledge rather than only memorizing facts for examinations.
CBE-ready facilities
Merishaw School facilities, resources, and infrastructure have been optimized for CBE through practical learning spaces, STEM exposure, sports, mentorship, digital literacy, and hands-on training.
