Cambridge IGCSE Global Perspectives gives learners the opportunity to think about significant global issues and to consider these from different perspectives. It develops a set of transferable skills in research, analysis, evaluation, communication, collaboration and reflection. It encourages learners to construct arguments, present views, work collaboratively, research, and reason and reflect on their place in a connected world. These transferable skills will support student learning across all of their studies.
To support learners in facing these challenges, Cambridge IGCSE Global Perspectives develops a range of skills, including:
• researching, analysing and evaluating information
• developing and justifying a line of reasoning
• reflecting on processes and on own learning
• communicating information and reasoning
• collaborating to achieve a common outcome.
These skills are transferable and useful for future study. They will help learners become active citizens of the future. Learners are encouraged to explore ideas from others’ communities, countries and cultures. Through stimulating topics they will explore issues of global significance. They will learn to direct their own study and develop independent thought.

Hello everyone! I’m Ms. Ruby El-kerdi, the Head of Humanities Department and Global Perspectives teacher for years 10, 11 and 12. I have been at EMS for 11 years, and during this time, I’ve had the pleasure of guiding students through critical thinking, research, and global issues that shape the world around us. My goal is to create an engaging and supportive environment where students feel empowered to explore new ideas and challenge themselves academically. I look forward to working with you and your children throughout this school year, and I am always available to discuss any questions or concerns you may have. Thank you!
