What do you need to know about GAS?

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.

While the other strands are career-specific, this strand does not focus in one specific paths only but rather it surrounds  many fields and many opportunities because the general studies program covers subjects that are not industry specific, graduates are qualified to work in any field, provided they possess the knowledge and abilities needed to perform the essential tasks of the job.  the General Academic Strand is great for students who are still undecided on which track to take. In this strand, students are given the opportunity or time to make up their mind and finally decide on what course they want to take up in college.So if you find yourself among the students that are “undecided”, then this strand is the best for you.
