Geography

Geography in the Matric CAPS curriculum explores the Earth's physical and human landscapes, focusing on spatial patterns, environmental processes, and human interactions. Students investigate natural phenomena like weather and climate, landforms, and ecosystems, while also delving into human geography topics such as population dynamics, urbanization, and economic activities. Through fieldwork, map interpretation, and data analysis, students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills essential for understanding global challenges like climate change, resource management, and sustainable development. Geography fosters a holistic understanding of the world, preparing students to be informed global citizens capable of contributing positively to society and the environment.
