Importance of learning social studies
Social studies offers valuable insights into history, geography, and much more. Social studies captivates students by providing them with perspectives from the past, present, and future, allowing them to understand history and navigate current events. 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.
Benefits of learning social studies
Learning social studies offers many benefits to students in terms of helping them develop a holistic understanding of the world. Namely, it helps them:

- Become active, responsible, and engaged citizens
