Timor-Leste Science and Technology Stream Curriculum (Year 9)

Information regarding the specific details of the Timor-Leste Year 9 Science and Technology Stream curriculum remains limited. However, the available information suggests a focus on basic science education, with an integrated curriculum model implemented for the 3rd cycle (which includes Year 9). In 2021, 28,970 science books were distributed to Year 9 students across Timor-Leste. This initiative aimed to support continued learning during the pandemic.

The broader secondary education curriculum in Timor-Leste offers two streams: Sciences and Technology, and Social Sciences and Humanities. Both streams share common subjects, and the Science and Technology stream likely emphasizes digital competency as a key skill. Research on science education in Timor-Leste highlights the challenges faced by teachers in implementing the curriculum.
