Why should my school consider offering Global Perspectives?

Cambridge Global Perspectives takes an interdisciplinary, cross-curricular approach to developing the skills needed for success in education and work.

Schools need to make sure that their learners are ready for their next stage of learning or work. Both skill development and subject knowledge are essential to support learner progression.

By studying global issues, learners explore different, and often opposing, perspectives to develop their critical thinking, research and communication skills. They practise researching arguments before analysing, evaluating and communicating their findings. These skills are highly valued in education and work.

When Cambridge schools deliver the programme they report that:

• Learners become motivated to take control of their learning.
• Learners are excited by the global issues and topics which they can relate to.
• Teachers saw evidence that learners were able to carry over their skill development to subject lessons such as mathematics, sciences and languages.
