It enables them to appreciate how previous generations have shaped their present reality. In essence, social studies opens their eyes to the vastness of life beyond their immediate surroundings.

  • Become active, responsible, and engaged citizens
  • Comprehend global issues such as human rights, environmental sustainability, and economic disparities
