NEU comments on Labour's plans to make Climate Change Core Part of School Curriculum

Commenting on the announcement by Labour that climate change will form part of the core curriculum from primary school onwards, Kevin Courtney, Joint General Secretary of the National Education Union, said:

“We welcome Angela Rayner’s announcement, and what it shows about Labour's willingness to listen to students' concerns.  Labour is helping to move education policy away from a sterile emphasis on testing towards a focus on new questions, essential to present day society. To address these questions effectively means not only curriculum change, but also an investment in resources and in teacher development.”
