Climate change to be taught as core part of school curriculum
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.
