CCSLC Social Studies case studies
CCSLC Social Studies · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Caribbean Certificate of Secondary Level Competence (CCSLC) is a qualification developed by the Caribbean Examinations Council with Participating Territories to certify students completing secondary school across the region. CXC first offered it in June 2007, in response to a regional push for universal secondary education. It is built around a common core of six subjects - Digital Literacy, English, Integrated Science, Mathematics, Modern Languages and Social Studies - designed to give learners a foundation for further study, entry-level work and life as a regional citizen. Social Studies sits within that core and, like the other CXC-developed CCSLC subjects, is assessed by multiple-choice papers set on the CCSLC syllabus rather than the CSEC syllabus. The CCSLC Social Studies case studies are 5 cases and about 2,742 words.
