Candidate's Responses
Do you support the integration of climate change throughout every subject?
Yes - climate change is affecting and will affect all disciplines and industries, so it universally must be taken into account.
Do you support the teaching on solutions for climate change, as well as the causes and impacts?
Yes. We must teach that climate change is not inevitable, and is instead the result of political and business choices made in the last century.
Do they support more training for all teachers around the climate crisis?
Absolutely- any update to the curriculum needs to include teacher training.
Do they support more money being spent to upgrade schools so they are carbon neutral?
Yes. All public buildings should be built or renovated to be carbon neutral.
Do they support more green skills being taught in job-related education?
Yes. The Green Party have long campaigned for a Green New Deal, including apprenticeships in green industries and education for those occupations that will sustain us in the future.
