Edexcel Geography Unit 3: Contested Planet 6GE03 01 - 05 Jun 2017 [Exam Discussion]

In a question about developing countries, would Israel be okay to mention?

My teacher said Israel is considered a developed country, but I think he just made a mistake trying to justify a past paper's mark scheme.

The examiner would not discriminate you for judging a "middling" country as either developed or developing, as it's up for interpretation

That's what I thought as well. They're definitely one of the most developed in the Middle East, but still developing..

But look at this. June 2013: "Using names examples, assess the advantages and disadvantages of contrasting technologies to secure water supplies in developing countries"

And then in the examiner's report it says: Examples or case studies needed to focus on the developing world, so case studies such as the Hoover Dam and schemes in Israel, Spain or Australia were not acceptable.

Wow that energy source question was probably one of the hardest I've ever seen. Really difficult to write about causes of energy insecurity with a context of a future projection.
