Aims

The aims of this curriculum are to enable students to:

• understand the Earth they inhabit, and enable them to recognise and interpret, from a spatial perspective, the arrangement of phenomena and features on Earth, the processes at work, the interactions that occur, the changes that result, and the issues and management responses that arise;
• develop the general intellectual capacity and generic skills needed for lifelong learning through geographical enquiry, and the ability to apply these in life situations
• appreciate the wonder, interdependence and fragility of the local and global environment, and the importance of promoting sustainable development; and
• develop a sense of citizenship, a global outlook, and readiness to take action for the betterment of society, the nation and the world.

Objectives

Students are expected to develop knowledge and understanding of:

• how natural environments influence human activities, and how human activities alter natural environments;
• the changing development of geographical phenomena and issues in terms of space and time;
• the characteristics and functioning of major natural environments, through analysing the processes and interactions within and between them;
•  the characteristics and development of major human activities, in order to achieve a sense of “region”; and
• the issues arising from people-environment interactions and the human responses to such issues, as well as the implications of these human responses for resource management.
