Candidate's Responses
Do you support the integration of climate change throughout every subject?
Yes - this is in the Green manifesto
Do you support the teaching on solutions for climate change, as well as the causes and impacts?
Greens will ensure effective delivery of the new Natural History GCSE. The new Natural History qualification will enable young people to explore the world by learning about organisms and environments, environmental and sustainability issues, and gain a deeper knowledge of the natural world around them.
Do they support more training for all teachers around the climate crisis?
Yes. We support the rollout of carbon literacy training to support at least one sustainability lead in every locally maintained nursery, school, college and university, and greater support for teaching climate change at all levels.
Do they support more money being spent to upgrade schools so they are carbon neutral?
Green MPs will ensure that every school building is safe for children by investing £2.5bn a year needed for schools to be well- maintained and fit for purpose. In addition we will spend £4bn over the next five years to insulate other public buildings to a high standard. This is primarily for schools and hospitals, as part of a ten-year programme.
Do they support more green skills being taught in job-related education?
Yes. The new Natural History qualification will also develop the skills to help children carve a future career in the natural world if they wish to – for example observation, description, recording and analysis, through sustained and structured field study.
