Candidate's Responses
Do you support the integration of climate change throughout every subject?
Yes, and work to highlight the effects of climate change (economic, social, geographic), and ways to help solve the problems it is causing fit in very well with tech based subjects ( case studies from abroad can be explored as a part of the cultural aspect of language lessons etc etc) Climate and how we deal with climate change and its effects on us is a topic that should fit naturally into every area of the National Curriculum. Clearly Geography and science are obviously linked, but consideration of cause and impact can easily fit into other subject areas ,
Do you support the teaching on solutions for climate change, as well as the causes and impacts?
Yes, though clearly understanding the impacts/ likely impacts of climate change is hugely important, we must be able to offer hope - there are solutions to problems (some already known, others no doubt yet to be found) Students should be encouraged to help move our planet forward and away from the crisis we seem to have stored up for them
Do they support more training for all teachers around the climate crisis?
Yes, a knowledgeable and informed work force in schools is important. Students are supposed to be able to look towards teachers as those they should be learning from.’
Do they support more money being spent to upgrade schools so they are carbon neutral?
Yes,, though many current school buildings often have high carbon footprints (and this will undoubtedly require substantial investment in inew greener infrastructure) it is not something we can afford to overlook.
Do they support more green skills being taught in job-related education?
Yes. Whether fossil fuel industries like it or not, green renewable technologies are the way forward, they are what should be helping drive economies and steering us towards net zero targets asap,
