We need to have a conversation about the purpose of education. But really, what we need to do is get past the 'end of history' narrative and start imagining and creating alternatives to neoliberalism. Our future depends on it. linkedin.com/pulse/education… #EducationRenewed

It was great to meet with campaigners from @_teachthefuture.
I have long championed curriculum reform, tabling the Climate Education Bill, so that the climate receives the focus it deserves in our education system.
We must prepare young people for the future they will inherit.

🗣️Yesterday, one of our adult advisors told us about conversations she had had with two candidates who was initially against climate education.
A Reform UK candidate initially shot her down as he didn't think we should "frighten children" with "adults' problems". +
Are any other teachers leaving the classroom because the education system is failing to prepare children for the future on our warming planet?

No. It’s not about 38 polar bears in the Alaska Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
It’s about what will happen if the 11 billion barrels of oil underneath one of Earth’s last wildernesses are extracted and burned.

It was a pleasure to deliver the expert air quality knowledge for a People's Assembly at Francis Holland School @FHSSloaneSquare.
Decision-making will change, and it's pioneering schools like these showing children how it could be done.
People's assemblies are the future.
