Candidate's Responses
Do you support the integration of climate change throughout every subject?
Absolutely, education should teach a holistic curriculum in every subject. The history of industry and its impact, science impact historical and future, sociological impact, impact on design, literature, art and technology.
Do you support the teaching on solutions for climate change, as well as the causes and impacts?
Absolutely, knowledge is power - without information how can individuals be expected to make informed decisions and provide them with opportunities in how to help provide future solutions to the world's climate issues.
Do they support more training for all teachers around the climate crisis?
Yes, it should be introduced as part of an on-going additional subject to their core or general teaching and also be included as a paid up-lift.
Do they support more money being spent to upgrade schools so they are carbon neutral?
Absolutely, schools are more than places of education. They are focal points of the community, places where young people find sanctuary, are provided with meals, facilities and it is vital that learning environments are fit for purpose, sustainable and future proof both for the environment and capacity.
Do they support more green skills being taught in job-related education?
Absolutely - we NEED to build a skilled workforce for combating climate change, across all sectors, industries and roles. It is vital the next generation of leaders, entrepreneurs, skilled trades, teacher, lawyers, doctors and everyone else have the knowledge, opportunity and skills to thrive to tackle and improve the a sustainable green future.
