We take 9 or 10 subjects in the French system.

Students also take three subjects, rather than the normal two, at a higher level.

The student takes at least five traditional subjects, one of which must be Irish.

At the same time, they must take mathematics, science, technology and other academic subjects.

Students take two special subjects and an introduction to research methods.

We should experiment with paying students for taking difficult subjects.

We require them to take physical education and certain subjects.

The students take four subjects of their choice with English as compulsory.

Girls also tend to take certain subjects at school or university in much the same way as they are segregated into particular jobs.

A student may then take 3-6 other subjects to get his certifcate.
