Selected aims in teaching Geography at the Junior Secondary Level in Zimbabwe

Abstract

There are various factors that influence one’s thinking when it comes to the description of aims in teaching geography at school level. Firstly, there are changes in the curriculum at the secondary school level. These involve longer schooling periods in that all children proceed from form 1 to form 4; the growing complexity of our society; the earlier maturation of pupils and the demands that our education system should be more socialistic in outlook. These have had the effect of widening the aims of secondary school geography.
