New Jersey S2100 directs the Commissioner of Education to study increasing geography curriculum requirements in high school.

New Jersey S2100 mandates the Commissioner of Education to evaluate the necessity and benefits of raising geography curriculum requirements in high school. The study will assess both positive and negative impacts of enhancing geography education. Currently, no specific geography course is required for high school graduation, though social studies courses must integrate geography. The commissioner must submit findings and recommendations within six months to the State Board of Education, the Governor, and the Legislature.
