The result shows climate change education in schools must become more holistic and empowering, and children should be allowed to shape the future they will inherit.
In a new study, teachers spoke about the difficulties of teaching young people about climate change without adding to their fears.
More of the curriculum is devoted to climate change, but it’s still not presented holistically. Teachers also need more training and resources to help them prepare students for a changing climate.
We surveyed and interviewed parents of primary school-aged children in Queensland, Tasmania, Victoria and the ACT to explore their experiences of helping their children with remote schooling.
Research shows awareness-raising days can have long-term impact if they have a clear call to action, leverage the passion of those involved, or target policy-makers.
