How will these resources help you?

The extent to which the development gap can be closed is a common topic in GCSE and A-level specifications and is widely introduced at KS3. At higher levels, students must be able to assess the viability of the various strategies, substantiating answers with examples. These resources will support teachers in delivering this content and students in conducting independent enquiry. Strategies such as investment and aid are covered, and their outcomes scrutinised. The commonality of economic conditions of developed countries are explored to see what foundations are needed for development, as well as revisiting the meaning of ‘development’ as the term continues to evolve, continually changing the size of the gap.
