In fact we've been saying it for years....
And now it seems that Michael Palin agrees.... ;)
In a speech to the Princes Teaching Institute later this week he will apparently repeat the need for geography to remain an important part of the curriculum, and to include plenty of learning outside the classroom...
Seriously though, it's important that this message gets out there, and Michael Palin has the public profile that not everyone has...
"Geography itself is such a wide-ranging subject. It's really about the study of the surface of the Earth, it's relative to every single thing we do, what we eat, what transport we take to work, where we live, what houses are made of. It's an issue that directly relates to what we know of the Earth."
