Introduction
In a world where science and technology are taking centre stage, the humanities are frequently left out of the conversation in schools. Their importance, nevertheless, cannot be emphasised. The humanities include fields like philosophy, art, history, literature, and cultural studies. These fields provide deep understanding of society's intricacies and the human condition.
