The study of Languages, Humanities, and Social Sciences is important as it provides a broad understanding of the world in which we live. It gives a deeper understanding of human behavior through the past and current and how we can participate actively, and communicate better. The study of these subjects enables us to better understand ourselves as humans and how we react. This knowledge enables us to identify the root causes of social issues and find effective solutions.
The aim of the Faculty of Languages, Humanities, and Social Services is to ensure through these study subjects, students of general education acquire an understanding of human relationships, become better communicators and gain attitudes and values that are vital for participation in the affairs of the community, and state. Many 21st – century soft skills stem from the mastery of these subjects. Therefore, my staff and I are committed to providing knowledge and skills through the development of curricula and pedagogy, and assessment for the national general education.
