We believe that the Geography curriculum should be representative and inclusive of all learners. Diversity and inclusion is an ongoing journey for us, which is why we’re committed to ensuring increased diversity and inclusion in our Geography qualifications, assessments and teaching materials.
We are engaging with expert subject stakeholders including teachers, higher education academics and young people to gather their views on what our qualifications and resources should look like in the future.
Young people are engaged with and involved in debates about the future of the world they will live in and want action. Through the study of geography they will learn valuable employability skills to help them critically reflect on the big issues such as globalisation, climate change and sustainability. The knowledge that geography gives them will help them to find solutions to the challenges that lie ahead, and develop the essential skills for a global, technical future.
We’ve heard from many geography teachers that you need up-to-date examples and case studies to use in geography lessons. To address this need, our new series of topical case studies will highlight recent and relevant geographical events that relate to our Pearson Edexcel Geography qualifications. These topical case studies will help to stimulate discussion and debate in your classroom.
With new case studies being added on a regular basis, you’ll have plenty of relevant and up-to-date materials to bring life to Geography.
