The document discusses the Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) strand offered in the Senior High School program in the Philippines. HUMSS focuses on developing skills like reading, writing and speaking and prepares students for fields like journalism, education and other social sciences. It comprises half language and speech subjects and also includes mathematics and science, but not as focus areas.

Possible careers include teacher, lawyer, psychologist, journalist and others that require strong communication and social skills.

2. HUMSS stands for Humanities and Social Sciences. It is one of the strands
offered to Senior High students. This strand is for learners who aim to take up
journalism, communication arts, liberal arts, education, and other social
science-relatedcourses in college.
As you may alreadyknow, the Senior High School Program offers four major
tracks: Academic, Technical-Vocational Livelihood (TVL), Sports, and Arts &
Design. The Academic track offers four strands: [a] Accountancy, Business,
and Management (ABM); [b] Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS); [c]
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM); and [d] General
Academic Strand (GAS). And since this blog is dedicatedto informing students
about the HUMSS strand, discussing further the other strands will not be
necessary.
The HUMSS 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 becomemembers of the society who will be be dealing
with a lot of people. (e.g teacher, psychologist, lawyer, etc.) Honing these
skills are crucial for them to establish effectivecommunication 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.
