Through the study of the past, we can understand how our own world works. Through the study of history, students will develop certain common skills such as the ability to use sources, how to construct valid and justified arguments and how to examine change over time and explore the reasons for change. A good historian will use the skills that they develop in the subject to sort fact from fiction, opinion from fact and to use evidence to piece the jigsaw together. We will never truly know what happened in the past, or why, but the good historian will argue that by looking at the evidence and making decisions we can form judgements - a skill highly valued by employers.
