I was invited to speak at the event on behalf of the RGS, but was unable to attend as I already had a previous engagement, so Catherine Souch kindly stepped in to give a summary of the work we had done on our submission to the call for evidence.
The seminar was chaired by Dr Alex Standish (IOE) with contributions from:
- Helen Martin (Primary Head)
- Hina Robinson (Head of Geography and GA President)
- Steve Brace (Chief Executive at the GA)
- Dr Catherine Souch (Head of Research and Higher Education RGS)
- Eleanor Rawling (consultant in geographical education)
The discussion explores the current geography curriculum and its GCSE and A level specifications at a time of curriculum review, alongside the progression and set-backs of the geography curriculum since its introduction in the late 1980s. Eleanor Rawling spoke at the event and she has been involved in previous iterations of the National Curriculum and worked on the National Curriculum Framework for the GA.
A recording of the contributions and Q&A is available using this link - you will need to login to Zoom in order to see it. Thanks to the GA for sharing this.
