Candidate's Responses
Do you support the integration of climate change throughout every subject?
Yes, because the impact of climate change is overarching and no aspect of our lives is or can be insulated from it
Do you support the teaching on solutions for climate change, as well as the causes and impacts?
Yes, we need to ensure our future citizens are well informed and prepared for the changes we need to make to continually seek to minimise and mitigate the impact of climate change on our communities, cities, countries and world
Do they support more training for all teachers around the climate crisis?
Yes, in order to deliver a credible and quality curriculum which teaches pupils about climate change, we need to start with our teachers - our most important resource in our classrooms
Do they support more money being spent to upgrade schools so they are carbon neutral?
Yes, but Scotland's capital budget has been shredded by Westminster so this will be particularly challenging but I agree this should be our goal
Do they support more green skills being taught in job-related education?
Absolutely!
