Overview

If you are already teaching Humanities you can compare current and revised specifications on the What are the changes? page.

There's a wide range of subject areas, such as economic wellbeing and financial capability, the environment, health education, religious and moral issues, and citizenship - so it's interesting and motivating for learners.

Further benefits to you and your learners

  • An understanding of important topical issues relevant to everyday life - students not only develop critical analysis skills, but also learn to evaluate what they see in the world around them.
  • An opportunity to develop analytical skills through critical analysis, research and independent enquiry. These are all desirable skills to have when moving into further education.
  • A choice of topics for controlled assessment to suit a range of learning styles.
  • Updated course content, particularly in issues of health and welfare. Learners will find the relevance to everyday life refreshing and interesting. They'll find the course engaging to study and it will be more interesting for you to teach.
  • A wide range of support materials, to save you time while you're preparing for the new specification and to make teaching and studying the subject more enjoyable
