Relevance
History is extremely relevant to us in everyday life, because knowing what has gone before can help us to avoid the mistakes of the past and do better in the future. It teaches us to think in an analytical, questioning way. What happened? When? Why? How was History changed? How does this affect us today?

Skills Development
This subject does not rely upon simple regurgitation of facts. Its requirements go far beyond this, and learners are called upon to do research, compare sources, organize their findings, evaluate, interpret, explain, and make presentations.
Independent Thinking
Such activity leads to the development of higher order thinking skills, which are prized in all walks of life. Importantly, it also stimulates a measure of intellectual independence, as learners see the good and bad in humanity and begin to form their own opinions on events.
