At the upper primary stage the students start learning about their regions and country and are introduced to issue like poverty , child , and bonded labour , the functioning of the govt. of local and state level. At the secondary level the students should learn to analyze and think critically about these issues. Contemporary issues posing socio economic challenges are inclueded in the syllabus.
