Advantages of taking General Academic Strand

 Are you still not sure yet about your interests? Take the General Academic Strand (GAS). Unlike other K to 12 tracks and strands that are specific to a career, GAS gives you the chance to weigh your options.

      Why GAS? Well General Academic Strand or GAS provides several opportunities for students who are still unsure of what course to pursue in college. However, it does not fall short in the preparation of students for university. Covering several Social Science, Humanities, and Science subjects, this strand is an ideal avenue for students to discover their passion and field of interest for their holistic development.

         GAS also offers a host of subjects from the other Senior High School strands namely HUMMS, ABM, and STEM. Students may choose to take these subjects simultaneously. Among better subjects to look into that are available in GAS are Philippine Politics and Governance, Community Engagement, Creative Writing, and Applied Economics among many others. These subjects give senior high school students general overviews on what they can learn about in college depending on their chosen courses. The most likely ones to take if you’re a GAS graduate are those that have to do with communication arts, education, journalism, philosophy, literature, and political science. However, GAS students may also choose other tertiary disciplines that are more inclined to the other strands because that’s just how versatile the general academics strand develops its students.  

          It gives a student the leverage to find his own strengths, as well as fresh perspectives on the new things he learns from its wide range of subjects. This opportunity will definitely prepare a student for college well and soon after graduation, the real world.
