# Subject Areas

This feature enables the assignment of Subject Heads to oversee specific subjects, even if they do not teach them. To use this feature, faculty members must be assigned the Subject Head user role, which will then make them appear in the selection list. Additionally, the setup relies on the Grade Level and Curriculum being defined. Once configured, Subject Heads will be able to view both the subjects they teach and those assigned to them for oversight within this section.

## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

**Question:** Can a Subject Head access only the scoresheet for a specific section?

**Answer:** Our Subject Heads are responsible for overseeing scoresheets managed by each faculty member. Currently, Subject Heads are assigned per subject, allowing them to view all scoresheets for their assigned subject, regardless of the faculty member handling it.
