Meeting government ministers, organising a local river clean-up project and writing to the United Nations about climate change, are just some of the activities students are pursuing through the Cambridge IGCSE Global Perspectives course.
Cambridge IGCSE Global Perspectives is a groundbreaking new course that is cross-curricular, stretching across traditional subject boundaries. It taps into the way today’s students enjoy learning − including group work, seminars, projects, and working with other students around the world. The emphasis is on developing the ability to think critically about a range of global issues where there is always more than one point of view.
Global Perspectives in the Cambridge development process
Each new Cambridge qualification goes through a rigorous development, testing and evaluation process. Cambridge IGCSE Global Perspectives was piloted by a group of Cambridge schools around the world before being launched for teaching in September 2009.
