COMPARATIVE DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTENT AND STRUCTURE OF SCHOOL GEOGRAPHY EDUCATION IN POLAND AND UKRAINE

Abstract

The authors draw attention to the peculiarities of the school geography curriculum in Ukraine and Poland after the reforms in education in 2017. A comparative description of the content and structure of school geography in both countries gives reason to assert significant similarities. In primary grades, geography is studied in both countries as part of an integrated course of natural sciences. In middle and high school, one studies general geography, the geography of one's country in the context of the countries of the European region.
