Do you support the integration of climate change throughout every subject?
No. Climate change should be restricted to Geography lessons in which pupils should be informed about the processes that underlie it.
Do you support the teaching on solutions for climate change, as well as the causes and impacts?
Yes.
Do they support more training for all teachers around the climate crisis?
No. The only teachers who need training on it are Geography Teachers.
Do they support more money being spent to upgrade schools so they are carbon neutral?
If this is possible within the educational budget and does not siphon money off from other educational resources, then yes.
Do they support more green skills being taught in job-related education?
