Learning about Development at A-Level: A study of the impact of the World Development A-level on Young People’s Understanding of International Development (Development Education Research Centre Research Paper; No.7)

 Learning about development has been a feature of the school curriculum in England for a number of years, most notably through Geography and there has been increased interest in examination courses at post-sixteen. By reviewing what young people have learnt and gained from such a course, this report aims to demonstrate how young people perceive international development issues and what impact this has had on their views about the wider world.
