Content

Geography curricula differ from country to country. In ’96 and ’98 the content for the competition was decided on by the host country. In both cases the main theme of the IGU-congress has been indicative for the content of the competition. Alternatives:

1. The Geography Syllabus of the International Baccalaureat Organisation (IBO) in Geneva: it is a detailed syllabus that is being used by International Schools in about 80 countries in the world.
2. The Charter on Geographical Education of IGU. The charter describes characteristics of good geography curricula. It is widely supported internationally, but it does not contain attainment targets for students.

Proposal:

• adopt the Geography Syllabus of the IBO
