Social Studies Curriculum

The GEP Social Studies curriculum extends beyond the mainstream syllabus in depth and breadth. It makes interdisciplinary connections right from the start with the Primary 4 Family Tree Project and progressively caters more to individual needs and interests by allowing the pupils to choose the topics for their portfolio projects. This also helps to hone their decision-making skills. The curriculum does not focus only on the study of History but also Geography, Political Science, Economics and Sociology. The pupils are also encouraged to investigate real-life problems such as climate change and pollution. There are also opportunities for experiential learning through fieldtrips to heritage places such as Kampong Glam, Chinatown and Little India, understanding the different cultures better.
