Introduction to Biology syllabus

This Biology syllabus is a revised version that has been prepared to replace that of 1996. The revision process has been focused on a change in paradigm from that of a content-based curriculum to a competency-based curriculum. O-level Biology syllabus pdf download

Moreover, the revision was inevitable due to the fact that the 1996 syllabus did not sufficiently consider the current social, cultural, global, technological, subject biases and cross cutting issues taking place world wide but particularly in Tanzanian society.

In addition, the revision has also taken into consideration the requirements for the Secondary Education Development Plan (SEDP). This syllabus has been introduced for implementation January 2007. O-level Biology syllabus pdf download
