Aims and Objectives of teaching Biology in Secondary Schools

The aims and objectives of teaching Biology in secondary schools explain what Biology education is meant to achieve in learners, both in broad national terms and in specific classroom outcomes. For examinations, you must distinguish clearly between general aims and measurable objectives, and show how they guide content, teaching methods, practical work, and assessment in the secondary school.
