These are statements that describe what teachers should teach and what students should learn. In primary school geography, however, 50% of the content descriptions in the Knowledge and Understanding strand have been deleted or had content reduced.<\/p>\n<p>The education ministers of the governments of Australia\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.smh.com.au\/education\/minister-trumpets-return-of-what-it-means-to-be-australian-to-the-curriculum-20220204-p59tz1.html\">pressured ACARA<\/a>\u00a0to further reduce the content in the primary school humanities and social science learning areas.

The following have been deleted:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the division of the world into hemispheres, continents and oceans (in year 2)<\/li>\n<li>the main climate types of the world and the similarities and differences between the climates of different places (in year 3)<\/li>\n<li>a brief study of the continents and countries of Africa and South America (in year 4), and Europe and North America (in year 5)<\/li>\n<li>differences in the economic, demographic and social characteristics of countries across the world (in year 6).<\/li>\n<li>the world\u2019s cultural diversity, including that of its indigenous peoples (in year 6).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The only world knowledge retained in the revision is the study of Australia\u2019s neighbouring countries in year 3 and Asia in year 6. As a result, students will learn nothing about four of the continents, or of the environmental, economic, demographic and social differences and similarities between the countries of the world. They will have no sense of the world as a whole, and its diversity.<\/p>\n<p>In an increasingly interconnected world, children need at least to know about the countries we are connected to through history, trade, migration, alliances and government and non-government aid.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What key concepts have been lost?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Concepts are what we think with, and intellectual development is based on conceptual thinking. The previous curriculum developed children\u2019s understanding of the following key concepts and ways of thinking.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<strong>concept of place<\/strong>, including the definition of a place, and an understanding of the importance of places to people. The study of places is the core of primary school geography.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<strong>concept of location<\/strong>, including why things are located where they are, and the influence of location and accessibility on people\u2019s activities. These were in the curriculum to get students thinking about the effects of location and distance on their lives, and about where things should be located.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<strong>concept of space<\/strong>, including the management of spaces within neighbourhoods and towns. This introduced students to debates about how land should be used and how development conflicts are resolved, and to the idea of town planning.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<strong>concept of climate<\/strong>. The difference between climate and weather still confuses debate over climate change, so an understanding of this difference is vital.<\/p>\n<p><center><\/center><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\u201cclimate teaching in schools must be much more ambitious, given the urgency and enormity of the problem&#8230; It also means equipping schools with resources that empower their students to become active citizens in a changing climate.\u201d Teachers need PL in this <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/4VRePV6S1w\">https:\/\/t.co\/4VRePV6S1w<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Lee Beatty (@Lee__Beatty) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Lee__Beatty\/status\/1528731023378640903?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 23, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<strong>concept of a settlement<\/strong>, including the differences between places in types of settlement and demographic characteristics.
