Candidate's Responses
Do you support the integration of climate change throughout every subject?
Yes. We all need to know the facts about climate change and this is essential information for young people.
Do you support the teaching on solutions for climate change, as well as the causes and impacts?
Yes. A key part of understanding climate change is also understanding the actions required to try to roll back on the climate damage which has already happened.
Do they support more training for all teachers around the climate crisis?
Yes. Teachers need this kind of information to enable them to do their jobs as well as they can. Teachers manage to achieve all kinds of great things, but it is better and easier if they can also be provided with current and relevant information to assist them in this.
Do they support more money being spent to upgrade schools so they are carbon neutral?
Yes, this will ultimately benefit pupils, staff and will be more cost effective.
Do they support more green skills being taught in job-related education?
Yes. This is an important part of future proofing in terms of skills and education.
