Candidate's Responses
Do you support the integration of climate change throughout every subject?
Yes. We need to ensure children understand how to be party of the change to sustainability, learn the politics of fossil fuel industry donations, marketing and greenwashing and see threads on solution in every subject
Do you support the teaching on solutions for climate change, as well as the causes and impacts?
Maths, geography, chemistry, biology and physics in secondary, from foundations in primary, must help everyone understand materials, energy, heat in the oceans and it may be an idea to have a grounding in living week to reverse climate change approach looking st just transitions, economics and that Politics is Life to being change
Do they support more training for all teachers around the climate crisis?
Yes. This must include mental health support training as the facts are grim and many children will need great leadership to get past that, towards their natural approach methodology that works. This should be ongoing as we've seen the facts and technology change all the time.
Do they support more money being spent to upgrade schools so they are carbon neutral?
Absolutely. If there's a roof or car park it should be covered in solar. Where possible ground and air source heat pumps with extra addition to EV solar panels with solar thermal equipment, to regenerate the heat taken from the ground to use in winter. Schools can look forward to our Green LibDems doubling nature and energy generation beyond the needs of the school itself to support the grid.
Do they support more green skills being taught in job-related education?
A just transition to an electrified economy needs everyone to get behind a new programme. I want this to be a change in way of life at work and play, starting with every skill acquired having transferable skills in the student's thinking, towards achieving their full potential.
