The Cultural and Creative Arts (CCA) is an integration of Music, Visual Arts, Drama, and Dance in which a student is expected to grow alongside the cultural heritage of his people.
In junior secondary schools, cultural and creative arts education helps students explore their creativity and learn about different types of art, like music, painting, acting, and dancing. It is a way for them to express themselves and discover their cultural heritage.
Through these activities, students not only develop important skills but also get to understand more about themselves and the world they live in. They also learn and appreciate the many ways people express themselves through art.
In junior secondary schools, assessment methods in Cultural and Creative Arts (CCA) may vary from one institution to another. However, the common approaches include regular tests or quizzes, known as Continuous Assessment Tests (CATs), and end-of-term exams.
Students’ performance is graded on a scale ranging from A to F. An A grade reflects outstanding achievement, corresponding to scores around 70% or 80%. An F grade indicates failure, typically associated with scores below 50% or 45%.
