Suriname VOJ First Year Curriculum (formerly Mulo) - Business Arithmetic

While precise details about the current Suriname VOJ First Year Curriculum for Business Arithmetic are unavailable, the previous system, Mulo (Meer Uitgebreid Lager Onderwijs), offered two streams: Mulo-A (focused on business subjects) and Mulo-B (focused on science). It is highly probable that Business Arithmetic was a key component of the Mulo-A stream.

The transition from Mulo to VOJ (Voortgezet Onderwijs Junior) involved restructuring the lower secondary education system. While the specific changes to the Business Arithmetic curriculum during this transition remain unclear, the subject likely continues to provide students with fundamental business mathematics skills.

General information about education in Suriname:

• Primary education is free and compulsory from ages 6 to 12.
• The Ministry of Education, Science and Culture (MinOWC) oversees the education system in Suriname.
• VIDS (Vereniging van Inheemse Dorpshoofden Suriname) has been involved in adapting educational materials, including calculus books, to the local context.

More research is needed to obtain the precise details of the current VOJ Business Arithmetic curriculum.
