Geography SHS 1 (Ghana)

The SHS 1 Geography course in Ghana introduces students to the scope and importance of geography, beginning with the nature and relevance of the subject and basic map work, including scale, direction, and symbols. It explores the solar system and the shape of the earth, weather and climate, and landforms and processes, such as rivers, mountains, and coasts. Students study vegetation and soils alongside population geography, considering distribution, growth, and migration. The course examines settlements and urbanisation, transport and communication, and economic activities such as agriculture, mining, industry, and trade. Attention is given to environmental challenges like deforestation, pollution, and climate change, as well as regional geography of Ghana, focusing on resources, economic zones, and development. The course builds skills in fieldwork and practical geography, training students in observation, data collection, and analysis. Overall, SHS 1 Geography provides a foundation in both physical and human geography while encouraging an understanding of how people interact with their environment at local, national, and global scales.
