Climate change to be taught as core part of school curriculum
Focus on equal access to assisted death rather than risks of legalisation for oppressed groups wrongheaded, MPs and campaigners say
CLIMATE change will be taught as a “core part” of the school curriculum under a Labour government, Angela Rayner will announce today.
The next Labour government will teach children from a primary school level and upwards about the impact of climate change, the shadow education secretary will say.
The proposals form part of a review to ensure that young people are provided with knowledge and skills that are relevant to the 21st century, and will be examined by an expert panel of climate scientists.
