Overview
History is the study of change and development in society. Knowing about History enables us to understand and evaluate how the past impacts the present and influences the future.
Empowerment
A study of History builds the capacity of people to make informed choices in order to contribute constructively to society and advance democracy.
As a vehicle of personal empowerment, it promotes in learners an understanding of human agency, teaching them that they have choices, and can make choices which will change the world for the better.
