In Civics, students in grade 5 learn about the rights and responsibilities of citizens, the role of government, and how laws shape society. They explore how communities work together, how leaders are chosen, and why rules are important for fairness. Learners also discuss concepts such as democracy, justice, and freedom, while connecting them to everyday life. By studying history, institutions, and decision-making, children gain skills to think critically about society. Civics teaches respect, responsibility, and the importance of participation in community and government.
