Johannesburg- Over the last 5 years, the Department of Basic Education has published a list of subjects to be implemented in South African schools.

These subjects cover different fields and these include art, various technology-related subjects, and agricultural subjects.
Some of the subjects will be introduced in grades 8 and 9 and prepare them for possible further study in the art forms of their choice in Further Education and Training (FET), the department said.
