In many countries basic questions are being asked about school curriculum and the place of such subject as geography in that curriculum.
The Geographical Association (GA) was quick to respond the government's preliminary news on a desirable framework for the school curriculum in England and Wales. GA members engaged in this curriculum debate offered a considered view of the case for geography in the school curriculum.
These views were published by the Department of Education and Science (DES) in a phamphlet such as "Geography from 5 to 16" in 1986.
This paper focuses on the aims and objectives for the teaching of geography and considers their implications for the choice of contents and teaching approaches of DES between the age of 11 and 16 in 1986.
It sets out a framework within which each school might develop a geography programme appropriate to its own pupils.
This paper gives us some suggestions to improve the geography curriculum of secondary school in Korea.
