What is Lower Secondary 1 Global Perspectives?
1129 Global Perspectives Teacher Guide 2018_v2_tcm143-469224.pdfCambridge Global Perspectives is an innovative and stimulating skills-based program which places academic study in a practical, real-world context. It gives learners the opportunity to develop the transferable skills that they need to be successful at school and university, as well as in their future careers.
The program taps into the way today’s students enjoy learning, including group work, seminars, projects and working with other students around the world. The emphasis is on developing students’ ability to think critically about a range of global and local issues where there is always more than one point of view. Students study topics they are interested in – for example, ‘Trade and aid’ and ‘Disease and health’.
