- At Ekya, we recognise the importance of studying disciplines of social science to gain insights into the complexities of the world we live in. Our curriculum encompasses a range of disciplines, including geography, history, civics, legal studies, political science and psychology. Through this interdisciplinary approach, students explore various dimensions of human experiences, gaining a deeper understanding of people, places, ideas, and events across disciplines.
- One of the primary goals of our Social Science Program is to develop a deeper understanding of society, law, politics, and human-environment interactions. By examining the interplay between individuals and their surroundings, students gain valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities that arise in different social contexts. This understanding lays the foundation for informed decision-making and fosters a sense of responsibility towards the well-being of society and the environment.
- Critical thinking lies at the core of our Social Science Program. Students are encouraged to analyse issues from multiple perspectives, recognising the social, historical, and legal contexts that shape them. They learn to evaluate evidence, challenge assumptions, and develop their own informed viewpoints. By honing their critical thinking skills, students become active participants in shaping the future, equipped with the ability to navigate complex societal issues and contribute positively to public discourse.
- Our Social Science Program aims to empower students to make informed and reasoned decisions for the public good. Through engaging discussions, debates, and interactive activities, students develop the capacity to consider diverse viewpoints and assess the implications of various choices. They learn to evaluate policies, weigh ethical considerations, and envision a more inclusive and sustainable society.
