Abstract
This article starts by exploring the history of the ‘gap ’between school and university geography. Then, through a survey of twenty geography teachers on a master’s course at the Institute of Education, University of London, the nature of the divide is explored. Teachers were asked about the nature of their undergraduate geography courses, its relevance to their teaching in school, and which books had the greatest impact on them. The implications of the survey results are then considered.
