Social sciences comprise a branch/field of knowledge which basically studies human society or human relationships. It studies the social behavior of humans.

Key Points The general objectives of learning social sciences at the upper primary/ elementary school level are :

  • To acquaint students with their geographical, social and cultural environments.
  • To develop an interest in socio-economic institutions, a sense of social competence, and social commitment.
  • To develop an appreciation of cultural heritage and democratic citizenship qualities among students.
  • To develop the spirit of patriotism, national feeling, and international understanding among students.
  • To help students to participate in socio-economic institutions.
  • To train students to solve the present and forthcoming social issues and challenges.
  • To develop moral values, emotional qualities, and a sense of belongingness among students.

Appreciation of the caste system is against the spirit of a caste-free, egalitarian society and needs to be discouraged. So it is not a general objective of the teaching of social studies.
