A foundation level subject in Humanities is Plus Two. It is for students interested in majoring in public communication, sociology, English, or a similar subject of study as an undergraduate.

The Humanities and Social Sciences stream is a two-year plus two-level foundation course offered by the National Examination Board (NEB). It combines language studies, mass communication, sociology, psychology, economics, marketing/business mathematics, contemporary society, and other subjects to provide students with a well-rounded education.

Humanities and Social Sciences are unable to attract a sufficient number of students, with enrollment in Grade XI humanities decreasing year after year. Humanities faculty may have been the least desired stream among SEE graduates due to future job prospects and personal interests of students.
