Poor resources in geography classes

A SHORTAGE of technology and other resources is hindering the teaching of the sixth most popular Leaving Certificate subject, school inspectors have found.

In a report on geography at second level, the Department of Education inspectorate expresses concern about the use of information and communications technology (ICT) in about half of schools.

The report published by Education Minister, Batt O’Keeffe, last night also found that access to geography resources was limited in some schools where not all classes were taught in a dedicated geography room.
