Online Submission
Educational curriculum often addresses the challenges and needs of the society in which the school resides. In addition, the curriculum provides a room for schools to teach skills necessary to combat the imbalances within societies. This paper aimed at investigating whether Lesotho's Geography syllabus addresses technological challenges. The research employed document analysis, analysing the Grade 10 Geography syllabus, and interpreting other authors' findings so as to present how Geography is relevant in addressing technological skills. Adopting qualitative approach, the findings of the research are presented and discussed in a narrative form. The researcher argues that Geography syllabus addresses the technological challenges, as well as preparing learners for technological courses in universities. However, this research found that technological skills are not explicitly integrated in Geography education. Thus, it is recommended that Geography should be taught with more emphasis on equipping learners with explicit skills on GIS, GPS, remote sensing, as such skills are essential in the current world of work.
