Candidate's Responses
Do you support the integration of climate change throughout every subject?
Yes 100% the world is changing and we need to incorporate different learning streams into the existing curriculum.
Do you support the teaching on solutions for climate change, as well as the causes and impacts?
Yes 100% and who is to say that a new technology or process won't come from the mind of one of our students!
Do they support more training for all teachers around the climate crisis?
Yes all schools should be training their staff, including teachers on the facts and science of the climate and biodiversity crisis. Only by truly understanding the situation can we begin to fight for people and the planet.
Do they support more money being spent to upgrade schools so they are carbon neutral?
Yes I believe that by creating a carbon neutral education system we will in the long run, not only reduce our emissions but also our overheads. School buildings have a large capacity for energy capture and we should exploit that opportunity fully.
Do they support more green skills being taught in job-related education?
Yes! Our economy is changing and we need to be ahead of the game. If we don't focus on green skills we are doing a disservice to current and future generations.
