The new curriculum has thrown up many challenges for geography over the last couple of years.
At both GCSE and A level, the subject content has been made significantly more difficult in terms of both the level of understanding required and the volume of material covered.
The assessment of the subject at both levels has been drastically changed, including the reintroduction of non-examined assessment (coursework) at A level, while taking away the controlled assessment at GCSE.
Add to this the fact that both qualifications changed in exactly the same year for first assessment in 2018, and it becomes difficult to remember a more challenging time for geography teachers.
