1982: Curriculum Change

Rex Walford was involved in coordinating the GA's response to a period of curriculum change in the early 80s.
He wrote about the GA's involvement in 1982 in the 'Geography' journal.
The GA was involved in these consultations through a group called COSTA: the Council of Subject Teaching Associations. This no longer exists, although there is still a Council for Subject Associations of which the GA is a member.


This work is an important part of what the GA does to guide the development of the subject and the way it is assessed, and the content which forms part of any national curriculum, as well as advising on more local curriculum projects as well.
