The curriculum documents in economics, geography, history and politics are used as a basis for programming and lesson planning, focusing on the development of appropriate learning strategies, selection of resources and the development of assessment programs.
Cross-curricular topics such as middle schooling, literacy and numeracy, information technology in the classroom and other relevant issues are also included. |
