Social Studies is an interdisciplinary subject that integrates elements of Social Sciences and Humanities. It deals with socio-economic, cultural and political issues as well as human interaction with the physical environment.
The Upper Primary Social Studies syllabus was developed to build on the Social Studies skills of the Lower Primary Cultural Studies programme and to prepare students for J.C Social Studies programme. The syllabus is organised into five broad thematic modules, which are presented in a sequential manner such that there is gradual build up in depth and coverage. In most topics an attempt has been made to infuse as much as possible emerging issues such as Environmental Education, population and family life education and HIV and AIDS. Topics that will be covered are:
MODULE 1: SOCIETY AND CULTURE
MODULE 2: PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT
MODULE 3: OUR PAST
MODULE 4: GOVERNANCE AND CITIZENSHIP
MODULE 5: ECONOMY
