Abstract
Geography is one of the subjects offered toward a diploma of the International Baccalaureate Organization. Like the others, its syllabus is regularly reviewed and revised to remain current. The advent of a revised syllabus brings overlap that can be challenging for teachers. The syllabus that is now coming to an end was described in 107(4–5) of the Journal of Geography. The present article compares that syllabus with the new one and, particularly, the demands the new syllabus will place on teachers and students alike.
Stuart Semple is an adjunct professor of geography at Mount Allison University, Sackville, NB, Canada, and former Chief Examiner in Geography for the International Baccalaureate Organization. He chaired the Canadian Council for Geographic Education and the Education Committee of the Canadian Association of Geographers.
