The importance of
geography
Geography provokes and answers questions about the natural and
human worlds, using different scales of enquiry to view them from
different perspectives. It develops knowledge of places and
environments throughout the world, an understanding of maps, and a
range of investigative and problem-solving skills both inside and
outside the classroom. As such, it prepares pupils for adult life
and employment. Geography is a focus within the curriculum for
understanding and resolving issues about the environment and
sustainable development. It is also an important link between the
natural and social sciences. As pupils study geography, they
encounter different societies and cultures. This helps them realise
how nations rely on each other. It can inspire them to think about
their own place in the world, their values, and their rights and
responsibilities to other people and the environment. |
