This study examines teachers’ perceptions of the current job prospects and educational relevance of Social Science in West Bengal, India. Conducted between November and December 2025, this survey-type research employed a purposive sampling method, collecting primary data from 60 teachers across Purba Medinipur, Jhargram, and Paschim Medinipur districts of West Bengal, India. A self-constructed questionnaire and secondary sources, including NEP 2020, research papers, and information from different websites, were used to gather qualitative insights. Findings reveal that a majority of teachers (65.78%) believe the importance of Social Science has increased in modern times, though student interest appears to be declining, particularly among first-generation learners from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds. Teachers highlighted strong employment opportunities for Social Science graduates in both government and private sectors, as well as in competitive examinations. The study also emphasizes the need for seminars, workshops, and career guidance initiatives to enhance students’ awareness of Social Science-related careers. It concludes that integrating modern teaching methods, career-oriented counseling, and parent–school collaboration can significantly strengthen Social Science education and employability in West Bengal.
