The content of this task can be adapted to suit any Curriculum for Excellence Level.
Pupils will set out to examine the issue of poverty around the world. They will define what is meant by poverty, and explore the contrast in what is considered as poverty in different countries. They will research the factors which give rise to poverty, and the attempts being made to relieve poverty across the world. They will investigate the impact of government policies, monetary issues, employment, business ethics, and financial crises on poverty. The inter-relationship between poverty and hunger, and what can or should be done about it, will feature in this investigation. Pupils will then demonstrate their learning.
