SHS Social Studies practice questions
405 questions across 22 topics of the new NaCCA curriculum, each with a written explanation.
Social Studies asks how societies organise themselves and how a citizen takes part. Year 1 sets the scene with a geographical and historical sketch of Africa, African civilisations, economic activities, indigenous knowledge systems, ethics and human values, financial literacy, consumer rights, entrepreneurship and road safety. Year 2 turns to Ghana specifically — its economy, law enforcement, identity and national cohesion, nationalism and citizenship, the colonial and neo-colonial encounter, environmental sustainability, tourism, and the youth in national development.
