The Post 16 & HE Phase Committee exists to promote the teaching and study of geography in the post-16 curriculum. It supports teachers in schools, colleges and universities through a range of activities and publications. Please contact Viv Pointon if you are interested in joining the Committee. This is your chance to make a difference! Download these Terms of Reference to find out more about how the Post-16 & HE Committee works.
The committee organises conferences, field trips and workshops on topics closely associated with post-16 geographical education.
We produce a newsletter, Geography Matters, which focuses on news and issues currently facing teachers involved in post-16 geographical and environmental education. The newsletter can be downloaded from the Geography Matters page.
We contribute to books and articles that provide a more in-depth examination of issues associated with teaching and learning in post-16 geography. These include curriculum planning, teaching, assessment, fieldwork and resources.
We also take part in forming GA working parties to look at emerging areas of concern in the post-16 geography curriculum, including issues relevant to vocational education.
