GEOGRAPHY - The BEST subject in the World!

You can travel the seas, poles, and deserts and see nothing. To really understand the world you need to get under the skin of the people and places. In other words, learn about geography. I can't imagine a subject more relevant in schools. We'd all be lost without it.

Geography is EVERYWHERE and EVERYTHING is Geography

Geography is the what of where.
It is vitally important for understanding the world around us.
Geographers question the world and seek to understand it, they explain why things are where they are.
No other subject at school links so many factors together as one.
Geographers learn vital skills like map reading, problem solving, decision making.
They learn to link scientific factors alongside sociological, psychological and historical reasons for why the world is as it is.
Geography is on the news everyday, from war in the middle east, to closing of factories in cities, to farming subsidy arguments in the outback, to global climate change, the list in endless.
