Thesyllabus seeks to equip learners with skills, attitudes, values and practical competencies that enable them to participate in the development of the country. It enables response to challenges by developing solutions and skills leading to sustainable development. The syllabus recognises individual special education needs.
1.2 RATIONALEGeography in the secondary school curriculum will equip learners with skills to understand location, patterns and processes of phenomena. It is designed to make learn-ers appreciate diversity, valuation, utilisation and conser-vation of resources. The learning area gives an oppor-tunity to learners to manipulate geographical data and make informed decisions in their day to day experiences.The geography syllabus enables learners to develop the following skills:
• Problemsolving• Criticalthinking• Decisionmaking• Communication• Technologyandinnovation• Graphicacy
The geography learning area is a science that comprises both physical and humanaspects. It also covers field-work, map interpretation skills and graphicacy.
1.4 ASSUMPTIONS It is assumed that learners: • Haveanaturaldesiretoexploretheirenviron ment• havebasicknowledgeofdirectionandlocation• constantlyinteractwithweatherphenomenain day to day life• interactwithnaturalresources• areawareofpeopleengaginginvariouseco nomic activities
1.5 CROSS-CUTTING THEMES This phase will develop in learners, skills and an appreci-ation of:• environmentalissues• safetyandhealthissues• disasterriskmanagement• enterprise• sexuality,HIVandAIDS• heritage• climatechange• financialliteracy
• gender• technology
PRESENTATION OF SYLLABUSThe Geography Syllabus is a single document covering Forms1-4.
AIMS The aims of the syllabus are to:3.1 equip learners with skills in statistical and car tographic techniques ;3.2 develop practical skills of enquiry, observation, recording and interpretation of geographical information; 3.3 promote an understanding of environmental management issues;3.4 promote sustainable exploitation, processing and economic use of minerals and other resources;3.5 develop in learners an understanding of societal issuesofHIVandAIDS,climatechangeand disaster risk management;3.6 developanappreciationofdiversecommunities and cultures worldwide.3.7 promote an understanding of environmental pat terns, dynamics and relationships.
SYLLABUS OBJECTIVESBy the end of this learning phase learners should be able to:4.1 demonstrate basic knowledge of geographic in formation systems (GIS) in resource manage ment4.2 interpret topographical maps, photographs and satellite images. 4.3 collect, analyse and interpret geographical data4.4 value natural resources in the context of both economicdevelopmentandenvironmentalpro- tection4.5 develop technologies in issues of climate change and climate change adaptation4.6 demonstrateknowledgeandunderstanding of the processes that bring about change in both physical and human environment4.7 demonstrate geographical knowledge to create solutions to everyday challenges4.8 develop in learner’s enterprise skills in resource utilizationandconservation4.9 demonstratetherelationshipbetweenphysi- cal and human processes in the shaping of geo graphic space
METHODOLOGY AND TIME ALLOCATIONThis syllabus takes into account learner centred ap-proaches and methods. The choice of teaching methods and approaches should be guided by the principles of inclusivity, relevance, specificity, gender sensitivity andrespect. The following approaches and methods are rec-ommended in the teaching and learning of geography:
GEOGRAPHY SYLLABUS (FORMS 1 - 4)

The syllabus proposes the use of the concentric, sys-tems and integrated approaches.
The concentric approach: It recommends teaching ge-ography starting from the local environment to the whole of Zimbabwe, Southern African Development Community region,therestofAfricaandtheWorld.
Systems Approach: It involves the study of inter-re-lationships of various components in the environment which make up the whole. The focus is on the inputs, processes and outputs and feedback in a given system.
The integrated approach: It recommends that related topics should be taught together rather than in isolation.
5.1 METHODOLOGY The following are suggested methods of teaching and learning geography:
• Demonstrations• Fieldwork• Games• Simulations• Debates• Laboratoryworkandexperiments• Groupworkanddiscussions• Role-play• Casestudies• Projectbasedlearning• Educationaltours
NB. The above suggested methods should be enhanced by the application of orthodidactic principles and mul-ti-sensoryapproaches to teaching. These include tac-tility,concreteness,individualisation,self-activity,totalityand wholeness. Teachers are encouraged to address the learners’ residual senses.
5.2 TIME ALLOCATION
Five (5) periods of 40 minutes per week should be allo-cated for adequate coverage of the syllabus. The teach-ers should allocate time appropriately for learners with individual special education needs.
Educational tours should be undertaken at least once a year.
