Social Studies Learning & Assessment Objectives
AIMS
The proposed syllabus is organised around two core ideas – “Being Rooted” and “Living Global”. Through these two ideas, the syllabus aims to develop our students into well-informed, responsible citizens with a sense of national identity and a global perspective.
The aims of the syllabus are to enable students to:
• Understand issues that affect the socio-economic development, the governance and the future of
Singapore;
• Learn from the experiences of other countries to build and sustain a politically viable, socially cohesive
and economically vibrant Singapore;
• Develop thinking and process skills which are essential for lifelong and independent learning;
• Have a deep sense of shared destiny and national identity;
• Develop into citizens who have empathy towards others and will participate responsibly and sensibly in
a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural and multi-religious society; and
• Develop into responsible citizens with a global perspective.
