Participating in a Co-Curricular Activity (CCA) is mandatory at the primary and secondary levels, meaning that all pupils must participate in at least one activity. CCAs offered at the secondary level are usually categorised as Uniformed Groups, Performing Arts, Clubs & Societies and Sports & Games Competitions. There are many CCAs offered at the secondary school level. Students may choose to participate in more than 1 CCA.
Participation in CCAs is graded together with other non-academic achievements throughout a student's secondary school education in a scoring system similar to LEAPS 2.0 (LEAPS 2.0 is about leadership, achievement, participation and service). Points accumulated in the areas of leadership, enrichment, achievement, participation and service will determine a student's CCA grade.

This is because it is perceived as having moved away from the usually heavy emphasis on the sciences, a phenomenon resulting from the post-independence need for quick and basic technical and industrial education; to subjects in the arts and humanities. Such programmes are more project-based and students are expected to be independent learners.
Meritocracy is a fundamental ideology and a fundamental principle in the education system which aims to identify and groom bright young students for positions of leadership. The system places a great emphasis on academic performance in grading students and granting their admission to special programmes and universities, though this has raised concerns about breeding elitism.[82] Academic grades are considered as objective measures of the students' ability and effort, irrespective of their social background.[83] Having good academic credentials is seen as the most important factor for the students' career prospects in the job market, and their future economic status.[84]
The Leaders system continuously assesses the student in order to identify their academic and vocational strength and give them the option to choose a skill tey would like to graduated with in high school.
