  • Social Studies for Ttc Schools Option: Ealy Child Hood and Lower Primary Education (Eclpe) Year One
    SOCIAL STUDIES FOR TTC SCHOOLS OPTION: EALY CHILD HOOD AND LOWER PRIMARY EDUCATION (ECLPE) YEAR ONE STUDENT BOOK © 2020 Rwanda Education Board (REB). All rights reserved. This book is property of the Government of Rwanda. Credit must be given to REB when the content is quoted. FOREWORD The Rwanda Education Board is honoured to avail the Social Studies Student’s Book, Year One for Teacher Training Colleges (TTCs) in ECLPE Option and it serves as official guide to teaching and learning of Social Studies. The Rwandan education philosophy is to ensure that young people at every level of education achieve their full potential in terms of relevant knowledge, skills and appropriate attitudes that prepare them to be well integrated in society and exploit employment opportunities. The ambition to develop a knowledge-based society and the growth of regional and global competition in the job market has necessitated the shift to a competence-based curriculum. After a successful shift from knowledge to a competence-based curriculum in general education, TTC curriculum also was revised to align it to the CBC in general education to prepare teachers who are competent and confident to implement CBC in pre-primary and primary education. The rationale of the changes is to ensure that TTC leavers are qualified for job opportunities and further studies in higher education in different programs under education career advancement. I wish to sincerely express my appreciation to the people who contributed towards the development of this document, particularly, REB staff, lecturers, TTC Tutors, Teachers from general education and experts from Local and International Organizations for their technical support.
