Finally got a chance to look this up and then I thought does the law need changing?
So, is there a need to revise a law when the definitions of that law that refer to code?And to code that has been changed? The code has changed and has refereneces to what is changed, yet the law is depending on code.

The ACt 169 has "old language" since chapter 5 has been repealed.
(2) At the secondary school level, the following courses shall be taught: English, to include language, literature, speech and composition; science; geography; social studies, to include civics, world history, history of the United States and Pennsylvania; mathematics, to include general mathematics, algebra and geometry; art; music; physical education; health; and safety education, including regular and continuous instruction in the dangers and prevention of fires.

What are the Curriculum Requirements?
The home education law specifies the subjects that must be taught at elementary and secondary grade levels. See (24 P.S. § 13-1327.1(c - d)).
However, Chapter 5 (Curriculum Requirements of the State Board of Education), mentioned in 24 P.S. § 13-1327.1(c – d) as a resource to find other age-appropriate courses, has been repealed and replaced with Chapter 4 (22 Pa. Code Chapter 4).
Therefore, supervisors should consult 22 Pa. Code §§ 4.20 – 4.28 for information regarding age-appropriate courses.
