KS3 Geography Teachers' Toolkits: Mind the Gap

In this unit, students will investigate international development at a variety of scales. They will critically consider what development means for people and places, how development can be defined and measured, where the most and least developed places are in the world, why development is unequal and who is responsible for development. They will apply this knowledge as they take a closer look at present and future development in Southeast Asia.
