These broad areas encompass many separate fields of concentration, such as: special education, remedial education, primary and intermediate levels in the elementary schools, and the various subjects taught in secondary schools (e.g. biology, business, mathematics, art, English, etc.). Preparation for teaching in the middle school is based on subject concentrations equivalent to the secondary education program.
