Social Studies (207) - Preamble
Social Studies is part of the Junior Secondary School Leaving Examination taken at the end of the junior
secondary school level. The Junior Secondary School Leaving Examination is based on the two-year
course covering Grades 8 and 9.
In 2019, the Examinations Council of Zambia undertook examination reforms which saw an introduction of
School Based Assessments (SBA) for all practical papers and changes in some theory papers. During the
examination reforms process, the Social Studies examination question papers were analysed and reforms
have been made in terms of the content, test design and time allocation. Paper 1 and 2 were merged
into one paper. Therefore, the examination which used to be a two paper subject has been reformed to a
single paper as Social Studies 207/1. Therefore, a Specimen Paper in Social Studies 207/1 has been
developed and the Examination Syllabus has been revised.
Assessment Objectives (AO)
AO1 Knowledge with understanding
AO2 Information handling and problem solving
AO3 Evaluating social phenomena and value systems
Test Design
Social Studies 207/1 will consist of three sections: A, B and C. Section A will comprise multiple choice
questions (MCQs), Section B will have three compulsory structured and semi-structured questions while
Section C will have nine essay questions with a choice of only three. The Social Studies paper for both
Grade 9 internal and external candidates has been summarised in the table below:
