The Social Studies Curriculum focuses on the study of man, his interpersonal relationships and his interactions with the cultural, physical and social environment. Therefore, it deals with his origins, historical development and systems of government. It selects relevant concepts and skills from a variety of disciplines. Social Studies brings a unique way of organising content to enable the child to construct meaning of his social, cultural and physical world and so permits the adoption of a child-centered approach to teaching and learning. This curriculum provides an excellent forum for the infusion of values education and social and emotional learning. Every effort must be made to help students to be aware of and to accept and develop values such as tolerance, respect, honesty, cooperation and empathy.
