News Round Up!

News Round Up!

Natasha Pavey

January 30, 2022

On Friday (28th January), our Climate Education bill was set to be in Parliament for its Second Reading. Unfortunately, the House of Commons ran out of time and didn’t get round to voting on our bill, therefore it’s been pushed back to March 18th. Although we’re sad that we have to wait even longer now for our Second Reading, we are still super excited about all the media and press coverage we got last week! Hopefully, this raised awareness of our campaign and drew more attention to our bill and our new teacher research nevertheless! Here’s a little news round up of the press coverage we got last week.

Today we released some exciting new research! Conducted by Teacher Tapp on 11th January 2022, we surveyed 4690 secondary education teachers from across England about their experience with climate education and whether they believe it is embedded in their curriculum in a meaningful and relevant way. The data has been weighted to reflect the national population of teachers in England and this report provides details of the results according to the main subject taught by respondents. You can read the full report here on the research section of our website.
