Candidate's Responses

  1. Do you support the integration of climate change throughout every subject?

    Fully and totally as I believe our young people need to know the truth and not the political and media Greenwash to inform their future.

  2. Do you support the teaching on solutions for climate change, as well as the causes and impacts?

    Indeed I do and it is largely because our generaton should no longer control the world we leave behind in such a mess, younger people will be better than us if they are informed.

  3. Do they support more training for all teachers around the climate crisis?

    I do because teachers are not the possession of government and should be armed with what they need to offer young people a genuine education.

  4. Do they support more money being spent to upgrade schools so they are carbon neutral?

    I do because I believe this should happen everywhere but if we begin with schools it will e an education in itself

  5. Do they support more green skills being taught in job-related education? 

    Again, the only future there is will be if young people are skilled in managing our planet and scarce resources more effectively.
