There is so much more than learning about people in taking up Humanities and Social Sciences.
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-related courses in college.
As you may already know, 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 dedicated to 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 become members 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 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 us, HUMSS students, here's for you:
"At the end of the day, humanities is not about the money, but about the heart."
