The Series Focus On History and Civics for Classes 6 to 8 is a thorough course that covers elements of

history and civics in accordance with the latest curriculum designed by the Council for the Indian School

Certificate Examination {CISCE) and it also comprises the recommendations of the National Education

Policy 2020, which focuses on the development of critical thinking, 21st-century skills, collaboration, life

skills, problem-solving, and experiential learning.

The history curriculum gives students the knowledge of historical elements they need to deal with the present

and make plans for the future. Civics exposes students to sociopolitical life. The engaging content fosters the

social, cultural, and analytical abilities necessary to cope in a world that is becoming more interdependent

and connected. It sharpens the ability to draw connections between events and processes, as well as between

past and present developments.

The series follows a structured approach. Activities for cross-curricular connections are provided in the course

content to link learning across subject areas. Our attempt is to capture the interest and arouse curiosity

to learn how to learn. The series includes interactive pedagogy, learning through experiential tasks, and stimulant content. The series gives students plenty of opportunities to contemplate, observe, practice

critical thinking, and improve their communication skills.
