What is HUMSS strand all about?

HUMSS is stands for Humanities and Social Sciences. This strand revolves around improving a student’s reading, writing, and speaking skills because if you haven’t noticed yet, people who choose this strand are aspiring to become members of the society who will be dealing with a lot of people. (e.g teacher, psychologist, lawyer, etc.)


Honing these skills are crucial to establish effective communication with people when they are working. For these reasons, half of the subjects involved in this strand focus on Language and Speech. While Mathematics and Science are still included in their daily schedules, they are not too difficult since they do not belong to the specialization subjects of the said strand.

Many people underestimate HUMSS strand, but if you’re thinking that choosing the HUMSS strand is probably the easiest way to survive Senior High School, allow me to explain why you’re wrong. As stated above, the strand focuses on Language and Speech, which means two things: [a] yes, you won’t be dealing with way too many numbers; but [b] in turn, you will be dealing with tons of hand-outs and readings on various subjects.


So for those people who underestimate HUMSS students and the strand itself, here's for you.


"At the end of the day, humanities is not about the money, but about the heart."
