Secondary Education for what?

I recently discovered that in SS1, students in some schools offer Data processing as a course and also Computer science as another course and this got me worried. Is Data processing not part of Computer science. I also observed that Fishery was made compulsory while Agricultural Science was made optional. Where are we leading these children to? Interestingly the textbooks used in the schools were government approved!!!

Come on! Why are we doing this at this point in time? I remember those days when it was fun to learn Woodwork, metal work, shorthand, typing, accounts, technical drawing. Everything seems watered down these days!! When will we get it right? When? When? When?
