1989-90: National Curriculum Working Group

The National Curriculum Working Group has been mentioned elsewhere on the blog. It included several former GA Presidents.

Graham Butt: a name who has been linked with the Assocation for many years, studied this for his doctoral thesis, which can be downloaded and read as a PDF.
This fed into the Dearing Review, and resulted in an excellent book edited by Graham on Futures in Geography Education. 

Another reminder of how involved in curriculum change the GA has been over the decades.

Mind the Gap

A chasm has developed between those who teach at school and those who teach in universities. 

(Goudie, 1993, p. 338)

Written by Gemma Collins and Graham Butt, this piece has the title:

''Mind the Gap!' Or, how can we bring together geography education in schools and universities?'

This has been something the GA has been involved in for many decades.
