10. What is the state of Primary Geography today? 'Inspection evidence reveals that geography is the worst taught subject in the curriculum. There is a marked polarisation with a few schools teaching the subject exceptionally well and the majority either not teaching it much, or teaching it without real conviction or direction.' David Bell, Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Schools 2004 History and geography axed in primary schools for lessons on healthy living and the environment By Laura Clark Daily Mail 8 th December 2008. Press coverage of interim Rose review
11. What is the state of Primary Geography today? Domain 8: Place and time This includes how history shapes culture, events, consciousness and identity and its contribution to our understanding of present and future. It includes the geographical study of location, other people, other places and human interdependence, locally, nationally and globally. Like the arts, the humanities need proper public and political recognition of their importance tochildren’s understanding of who they are, of change and continuity, cause and consequence, of why society is arranged as it is, and of the interaction of mankind and the physical environment. The Cambridge Primary Review October 2009 “ The report is at best woolly and unclear on how schools should be accountable to the public – we're clear that it would be a retrograde step to return to days when the real achievements of schools were hidden.” Schools minister, Vernon Coaker October 2009 This domain may include anthropology and other human sciences. It is central to the aims of respect and reciprocity, interdependence and sustainability, local, national and global citizenship, and culture and community.
