Includes the revised syllabi of the elective subjects available for study at Northcote College of Education for the full-time two-year and three-year courses.

When both courses were introduced in September 1980, each student was required to elect for study three subjects which he/she intended to teach after graduation from the courses. With effect from September 1984, the syllabi were recast into units of study and students would only be required to study two elective subjects. It was hoped that the reduction in elective studies would pave the way for more flexibility and further improvement of the course curriculum.

Includes proposed syllabi of the common and college units of Social Studies for the full-time two-year course. Among the Colleges of Education, only Northcote College of Education and Grantham College of Education offered Social Studies as an elective subject for the full-time two-year course.
