Candidate's Responses
Do you support the integration of climate change throughout every subject?
Absolutely essential to include climate change education in schools and how it affects a range of subjects including geography, science subjects, mathematics (to understand stats and figures), and even sports (what to be aware of in a heatwave, more frequent lightening strikes, etc).
Do you support the teaching on solutions for climate change, as well as the causes and impacts?
It should not be all doom and gloom but inspire the younger generation to think about the causes of climate change and the solutions, how to mitigate and how to adapt.
Do they support more training for all teachers around the climate crisis?
Yes, to address the myths and base our understanding and education on scientific facts.
Do they support more money being spent to upgrade schools so they are carbon neutral?
We have to practice what we preach and schools provide the ideal environment to demonstrate how we can tackle climate change.
Do they support more green skills being taught in job-related education?
There is a significant shortage of skills in renewable energy, for research & development, installation, repair and maintenance. Steps need to be taken now to fill those skills shortages.
