O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Health Education; You require;
- Five (5) SSC credit passes/TC II merit passes, including English Language, Biology, or equivalent.
- Five (5) SSC credit passes /TC II merit passes to include English Language and Mathematics.
The first line names Biology beside English Language, the second names Mathematics. Biology is the subject carried forward into the JAMB combination, so it is the one that governs your UTME registration for this course.
The safest approach is to hold credits in English Language, Biology and Mathematics together. That satisfies both versions of the requirement and leaves two further credits to be made up from any subjects you have passed.
Jamb Subject Combination
