Timor-Leste's education system is structured with six years of primary school, three years of lower secondary, and three years of upper secondary education. Secondary education is divided into general secondary schools and technical secondary schools. The curriculum at the secondary level offers two main paths: Sciences and Technology, and Social Sciences and Humanities. Both streams share a common set of core subjects. Specific details about the Year 12 Social Sciences and Humanities curriculum are not readily available. However, some information can be gleaned from various sources.
History is a subject within the Social Sciences and Humanities stream. It has been integrated into "social science studies" for the first two cycles of basic education and "history and geography studies" for the third cycle. There have been efforts to develop a more localized history curriculum.
Geography is another subject likely within the Social Sciences and Humanities stream, although specific details about its inclusion in the Year 12 curriculum are not available.
The Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport is responsible for the education system in Timor-Leste. While the official website doesn't provide the specific curriculum document, it may contain further information. |
