Syllabus by study unit
Physical geography integrated with life sciences — how tectonic forces shape landforms, how the atmosphere drives climate, how oceans sustain ecosystems, and how all living systems interact on Earth.
A chronological arc from early humans through ancient civilisations to medieval India — tracing how states, societies, and cultures formed, changed under pressure, and connected with the wider world.
What social science is as a discipline; the principles and rationale of democracy; how elections translate popular will into representation; and how authority is legitimised in different political systems.
Foundational economic concepts — needs, wants, scarcity, markets, and price signals; how entrepreneurship turns ideas into enterprises; and personal financial literacy including budgeting and saving.
