What is O-Level Social Studies?

Singapore’s O-Level Curriculum consists of Social Studies as a core subject, and it is important for kids to develop Social Understanding, obey Social Responsibilities and Global Awareness. It is one of the toughest Academic Subject, children’s usually find difficulty in. This curriculum helps students gain an understanding of their environment through the study of the Humanities and Social Sciences while enabling them to develop Critical Thinking, Analytical Skills, and Effective Communication Skills, together with the ability to actively participate as citizens in a future diverse society. Social Studies has many similarities to history, but focuses more on events or issues happening now globally. Like history, Social Studies requires you to know and recall significant dates, key events, and their importance.
