This paper analyses the tasks allotted to students, featuring two thematic units in the 6 th grade Geography textbook published in 2018 by the Didactic and Pedagogic Publishing House Ltd., Bucharest and used in the schools in Romania during the 2018-2019 school year. After a brief analysis of the textbook and its lesson structure, we studied the tasks on Regional Geography in the following thematic units: "Europegeographic identity" and "Europe in the contemporary world". These tasks are associated with some visual materials (e.g. illustrations, books, charts, sketchy drawings and the like), with some texts and web sources. The studied assignments are included in the lesson sections Discover and Apply. Most of the tasks demand recognition and identification of some geographic aspects. Less importance have the tasks that require the systematization of information based on some criteria. To improve thorough information processing, it is advisable to include certain activities of identifying geographic relationships of hierarchy, comparison, explanation and ordering of data, synthesizing it in texts, problem solving and problem-situations.

In India, geography is taught as a compulsory subject in secondary schools (class 6 th to class 10 th ) affiliated to all of its school boards. The subject is considered as a part of social science, yet many differences can be found in the way it is practiced in schools across the school boards. By using literature survey as well as primary data, the paper provides an overview of geography in secondary schools with particular focus on its place in school curriculum, qualifications of teachers of geography, its pedagogy, teaching aids and resources, and its general image. Further, it identifies major challenges of geography in the opinion of teachers of geography, principals of schools and officials of school boards and State Councils of Educational Research and Training (SCERTs), and makes certain recommendations. The paper argues that the variations in the teaching geography in secondary schools of India are essentially due to its vast field and complex nature.
