Learning about development has been a feature of the school curriculum in England for a number of years, most notably through Geography and there has been increased interest in examination courses at post-sixteen. By reviewing what young people have learnt and gained from such a course, this report aims to demonstrate how young people perceive international development issues and what impact this has had on their views about the wider world.
