Suriname MULO-A Program Overview

The Meer Uitgebreid Lager Onderwijs (MULO) system in Suriname is a lower secondary education program. It is divided into two streams: MULO-A and MULO-B. MULO-A focuses on languages and business subjects, while MULO-B concentrates on science subjects. Students typically enter the MULO program after completing six years of primary education (Gewoon Lager Onderwijs - GLO) and taking a placement exam. The MULO program itself lasts for four years.

MULO-A: Languages and Business Subjects

MULO-A is designed for students interested in pursuing careers in business, commerce, and related fields. While a precise list of specific subjects within the MULO-A curriculum remains elusive, the available information indicates a focus on languages and business-related topics. The "commercial subjects" emphasis mentioned in several sources suggests that courses likely cover areas such as accounting, economics, business administration, and possibly marketing or entrepreneurship. The languages component of the MULO-A program likely includes instruction in Dutch (the official language of Suriname) and possibly other languages such as English or Spanish.

Upon completion of the MULO-A program, graduates can pursue further education at the upper secondary level (Voorbereidend Wetenschappelijk Onderwijs - VWO) or vocational training programs.
