Education prepares our children to contribute to society. Children learn about maths, science, english, geography, history and more. These subjects haven’t changed much in the past half-century.

Which is a shame.

It means that no pupil will ever receive a GCSE in Climate Change. It means the biggest issue of their lifetime will be relegated to sub-topics within Geography, Science and Politics. It means it will never receive the same credibility as things that have happened in the past (History), or objects of discourse (Art), or even Dance.

If we’re not serious enough about climate change to demand its own qualification, and to recognise that it will help our children contribute to society, then why should our children take it seriously?
