Candidate's Responses
Do you support the integration of climate change throughout every subject?
Yes I am an educator and part of my PhD studies looked at the decarbonisation of the curriculum.
Do you support the teaching on solutions for climate change, as well as the causes and impacts?
Yes 100%
Do they support more training for all teachers around the climate crisis?
Yes because climate change pressures are also linked to mental health issues in young people. We need to understand and articulate what resilience and adaptation will mean.
Do they support more money being spent to upgrade schools so they are carbon neutral?
Yes, also I believe in district heating systems.
Do they support more green skills being taught in job-related education?
I think green skills should not be sidelined or described as such they should be mainstreamed into education from ante-natal classes to pre school and beyond.
