politics & geography

Most days, I’d rank the problems surrounding STEM teaching and learning as one of the most important, if not the most important, in the educational front. But my cynical side says that it’s folly to worry about such topics because before such implications are fully realized, we’ll be at the mercy of our global decision-makers. Under-appreciation of political geography is a problem on an entirely different scale. When “war teaches us geography” – it’s too late.
