Do you like geography?

Geography as a subject is in decling and needs to be made more relevant with a greater focus on global issues, England's schools inspectors have said according to BBC.

Climate change, sustainable development and trade disputs could all be studied to increase interest. In a report based on surveys between 2004 and 2007, it became clear that eography was the worst-taught subject and pupils saw it as "boring".

But there is potential for geography to be a practical and varied subject, says Liberal Democrat children, schools and families spokesman, Davis Laws."But this report suggest it is at risk of becoming too dry".
