Candidate's Responses
Do you support the integration of climate change throughout every subject?
Almost every subject, from Maths to football. (I don't think there's much scope for Climate Emergency in a lesson about contraception and consent though.)
Do you support the teaching on solutions for climate change, as well as the causes and impacts?
Absolutely. And it must be done with a sense of urgency, as well as plenty of practical thinking and encouragement.
Do they support more training for all teachers around the climate crisis?
Yes. A lot of them don't feel equipped and help is sorely needed on this.
Do they support more money being spent to upgrade schools so they are carbon neutral?
Yes, absolutely. Start as you mean to go on.
Do they support more green skills being taught in job-related education?
Absolutely.
