            I’m very curious about this “new” Humanities DSA domain too. A few more schools introduced this year. What are they really looking for, since primary school kids have almost zero exposure to the Humanities??

            Are they looking for History buffs? Or kids who love reading classic Literature & create their own poems? What about Geography - how passionate can you be about it in urban Singapore??

            Do the GEPpers have early exposure to the humanities in school and therefore an unfair advantage over mainstreamers?

                Your child selected for interview? Curious too about the interview format too. thought humanities are only available as secondary school subjects.

                    HCI put this under DSA Humanity


                    https://youtu.be/TRpHjGb0Ijk

                    It’s English DSA. What they looking for are
                    - consistent high achiever in English
                    - curious thinker
                    - avid reader
                    - persuasive communicator

                        I think HCI DSA2023 Humanities is a rebranding of the HCI DSA2022 English. The vid (presenter & 4 students showcased) is the same. https://youtu.be/TRpHjGb0Ijk.
