Summary/Abstract: The article presents research on the social and civic competences in the core curricula of pre-school education and general education for primary and secondary schools implemented within the framework of educational reform and their assessment in light of the challenges of the Integrated Skills Strategy. For this purpose, an analysis is made of the Integrated Skills Strategy, a strategic document of state education policy, in terms of its provisions on social and civic competences in the general education system, in order to identify the challenges affecting the quality of human and social capital. This will then be contrasted with the core curricula content of general education in terms of social and civic competences. The study method is the analysis of existing data sources, i.e. the Integrated Skills Strategy and the core curricula for general education. The results of the analysis concern the knowledge, skills and attitudes included in the social and civic competences at all and individual stages of education, as well as the potential functions of education resulting from the provision of the general and specific requirements qualified as social and civic competences. Conclusions from the data analysis indicate a significant discrepancy between the provisions of the core curricula for general education concerning social and civic competences and the challenges of the Integrated Skills Strategy, which calls into question the possibility of achieving its aims.
