Queensland high schools see the introduction of five new subjects this year as the state moves to abolish the OP system in favour of nationally adopted Australian Tertiary Admission Rank System in 2020.
The change is prompting a review of Queensland’s secondary school curriculum to allow subjects that would not have been graded under the OP system.
The new subjects are psychology, design, engineering, food and nutrition, and literature, with a 6th subject Aboriginal and Torres strait islander cultural studies still pending approval.
