Human beings require knowledge of the ways in which the human body functions, of the interdependence of living things, and of the ways the total environment functions to support life on earth in all its forms, in order to make intelligent decisions on matters at home, at work or in society, which routinely affect their health and, therefore, the quality of their lives. The study of Human and Social Biology provides students at secondary schools with an opportunity to begin acquiring this knowledge.
Human and Social Biology is concerned with the study of the structure and functioning of the human body. It also involves the application of biological principles, knowledge and skills, and technological advances, to the maintenance of health and to solve the problems of living together. The subject incorporates the view that human beings have a responsibility to their environment and, as such, have an obligation to conserve, protect, maintain and improve its quality.

Social Studies contributes to the effective development of the learner by increasing personal and social awareness, and by placing emphasis on values as well as on social and interpersonal relationships. In addition, it introduces students to concepts from the various social science disciplines and enables them to appreciate the significance of these experiences as they seek to understand more about themselves and the complex social relationships of which they are a part. An interpretation of this kind makes the Social Studies programme not only relevant to the learners but also facilitates the smooth transition of the student from secondary to tertiary education and to the wider society
