Primary Humanities

Introduction

The Primary Humanities curriculum is a vital part of primary education, encompassing six strands: Health and Living, Environment and Living, Money and Economics, Society and Citizenship, Our Nation and Me, and The World and Me, under the Personal, Social and Humanities Education domain. It aims to foster humanistic literacy by cultivating respect for every individual’s worth, self-value, care for others, appreciation of history, culture, beauty and nature, and commitment to sustainable development — building a caring, inclusive society and a better world, in harmony with the national vision of a shared future for mankind.
