Candidate's Responses
Do you support the integration of climate change throughout every subject?
It is absolutely essential that we teach the science of climate change and of wider environmental awareness to our chidren. After all they are going to have to work out how to deal with the damage we are handing down to them. The least we can do is let them learn what is happening
Do you support the teaching on solutions for climate change, as well as the causes and impacts?
Of course.
Do they support more training for all teachers around the climate crisis?
Most teachers don't need this but where necessary
Do they support more money being spent to upgrade schools so they are carbon neutral?
A bit of up front capital investment from the government will cut school running costs significantly. This is cost saving not cost making
Do they support more green skills being taught in job-related education?
It is essential we teach the skills needed for a new green economy in the most practical way. We need more installers of solar panels etc
