Educating the UK About Climate Change?

At Cop26, the UK Education Secretary promised to "put climate change at the heart of education". The chances of this happening appear to be exceedingly remote (https://www.theguardian.com/education/2022/jan/28/uk-pupils-failed-by-schools-teaching-of-climate-crisis-experts-say). Notably, an early draft of the new education strategy tells teachers not to advise pupils to get involved in climate protests. A survey of more than 4,500 teachers in England found that 67% of respondents thought that climate change was not taught in a meaningful way in their schools. This was in spite of 90% thinking the subject was relevent to their subject area. Students also described the lack of opportunity to discuss the climate crisis in class. Students doing a GCE Advanced level in Geography were asked to list the benefits of climate change! This nonsense also featured the the BBC 'Bite-size' education programme (much used in the Covid19 lockdowns). A student who listed the 'bite size' list but added a note, saying the disadvantages greatly outweighed the benefits, was critized by the examiner for making this comment. It appears that a prevailing view of many Education experts is that UK children are failed, when it comes to leaning about the climate crisis. The subject can be entirely missing from the curriculum, side-lined or mistaught. Many students appear to share this view.
