Suriname Mulo Curriculum - Mulo > MULO-A > Languages and Business Subjects

The Mulo system in Suriname was a four-year lower secondary education program, divided into two streams: Mulo-A, focusing on languages and business subjects, and Mulo-B, focusing on science subjects. Students entered Mulo after completing six years of primary education (GLO) and taking a placement exam. In the 3rd year of Mulo, students chose either the A or B stream. Mulo-A led to the Mulo-A diploma, which was a requirement for further studies. While the Mulo system was reportedly abolished in 2021, it remains relevant for understanding the historical context of Surinamese education.

While a definitive list of Mulo-A subjects from official sources is unavailable, the following subjects were listed in a social media post discussing Mulo second grade:

• Languages: Dutch (with reading), English
• Business/Commercial Subjects: Commercial Arithmetic (Handelsrekenen)
• Other Subjects: Mathematics, Physics, Geography, History, Biology, Drawing, Religious Studies (for religious schools)

It is important to note that this list may not be exhaustive or entirely accurate, as it is not from an official source. Further research into official Surinamese Ministry of Education publications or archived documents may be necessary to confirm the complete curriculum.
