Candidate's Responses
Do you support the integration of climate change throughout every subject?
Absolutely. It should be understood that the environment is the basis of every action we make and so Climate Change will have an impact on everything.
Do you support the teaching on solutions for climate change, as well as the causes and impacts?
Yes, and I personally have done so in all the college classes I have taught over the last thirty years whatever the actual subject may have been.
Do they support more training for all teachers around the climate crisis?
I would hope this would not be required, but it should be made easily available to staff and parent carers.
Do they support more money being spent to upgrade schools so they are carbon neutral?
Every aspect of the country should be made carbon neutral, by means of insulation and efficient heating / cooling systems - not just educational establishments.
Do they support more green skills being taught in job-related education?
Green skills are life skills. The understanding of life and living is essential for future adults in a transitioning economy, business, work and educational environment. I consider the introduction of an understanding of AI to also be an essential skill at all stages of life from today onwards.
