Candidate's Responses

  1. Do you support the integration of climate change throughout every subject?

    Yes, thoroughly. As a teacher myself, I always tried to do this as much as possible.

  2. Do you support the teaching on solutions for climate change, as well as the causes and impacts?

    Of course. As a teacher I am always led by solid scientific evidence base, and so addressing climate change and its mitigations is fundamental.

  3. Do they support more training for all teachers around the climate crisis?

    100%. Whilst we try to do as much as possible at the moment, teachers need far more support. This is also going to involved rewriting the curriculum because it is unfit for the current age.

  4. Do they support more money being spent to upgrade schools so they are carbon neutral?

    This isn't a question of money - it is a question of need. We need to do this so we must.

  5. Do they support more green skills being taught in job-related education? 

    Especially in secondary and HE. We need a national training programme so that we have the right skills for the future.
