Uruguay Primary School Social Studies Curriculum

Primary education in Uruguay is compulsory and free for all children aged 6 to 14. It covers six grades and is organized into regular and special education modalities. The Uruguayan education system is highly centralized.

Social Studies is part of the primary school curriculum, and resources related to teaching Social Studies can be found on the Uruguay Educa website. This website offers resources for teachers, including articles, books, and digital resources, covering various aspects of Social Studies education. It also provides materials specifically for primary school levels, including activities that address Social Studies and Language Arts content for ages 3-6.

The "Programa de Educación Inicial y Primaria" is the official document outlining the curriculum for primary education in Uruguay. While the exact content of the Social Studies curriculum for Primary 3 remains unavailable, it is likely aligned with the general goals and objectives of the overall primary education program. This program aims to provide students with a foundational understanding of social sciences, including history, geography, civics, and economics, and to develop their critical thinking and analytical skills.
