Level Stage
Early the pre-school years and P1
First to the end of P4
Second to the end of P7
Third and Fourth S1 – S3
Senior Phase S4 – S6 and other forms of study
What is the Broad General Education?
The Broad General Education (BGE) is the first phase of two closely connected phases of education. The BGE phase stretches from age 3 until the end of S3 after which learners move into the Senior Phase which starts in S4.
