Italy introduces compulsory climate change study for all state schools

In an interview on Monday, Fioramonti said all state schools would dedicate 33 hours per year, almost one hour per school week, to climate change issues from the start of the next academic year in September 2020.

“The entire ministry is being changed to make sustainability and climate the centre of the education model,” Fioramonti said. I want to make the Italian education system the first education system that puts the environment and society at the core of everything we learn in school. Many traditional subjects, such as geography, mathematics and physics, would also be studied from the perspective of sustainable development, said the minister.

Fioramonti is the Italian government’s most vocal supporter of green policies and was criticised by the opposition in September for encouraging students to skip school and take part in climate protests.Despite Australia signing the Paris Agreement in 2016 - which outlined the importance of developing climate change education - there has been no cohesive program introduced to state schools.

Good on him!

They can stsrt by not tossing their trash and waste into their environment

That placard is written in English it belongs to the Greens

kapernickn Brillante! 🇮🇹👏🏼

teach children science? how dare you!

Italy is a bankrupt basket case anyway.

gail_unco23 Disgraceful

We learned all about man made things that kill the environment in school, and that was in 80s/90s, did these idiots in comments not? Why is wanting to do better for our planet and teaching kids about cause and effect such a problem for you? Why not do better?

Bravo Italia!!

Good thing they ousted the previous govt...just in time to get back to managed decline...

tilly64 Good - maybe Canavan & Barilaro could attend.

How poor kids

Bravo Italia - Australia should definitely follow. Knowledge is power...🇦🇺🇮🇹

EnoTheWonderdog If they can do it in Italy ScottMorrisonMP why can't you do it here too, or are you too busy pissing your pants at ball games to concern yourself with our young people's futures.......

Better late than cinders.

Ridiculous propaganda

Agenda 2030

So no problem being taught that God created the world 7,000 years ago but climate change has everyone tearing their own clothes 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

That will be good another faith based subject.

Also tell the kid holding the sign that we are working on planet B. It called mars. Lol.

Don't you think they should get the science right first before filling our kids heads with misleading information. Or maybe they could expose the faults in the hypothesis. Not too many predictions have eventuated so think it's a bit early to be teaching kids flat world science.

Another country I won’t be visiting

That's how you know you got a socialist government when they teach you BS to enslave you.

The1984Effect Will they be taught photosynthesis? Probably not.

Too bad 'greenhouse gases' don't affect the climate. These kids will get garbage shoveled into their brains

Such a great idea but I’m torn... I don’t gravitate towards anything compulsory. Democracy, choice, freedom....

Indoctrination

Yes they should study ecology, geology, & all related sciences, so they realise there’s no climate crisis grandsolarminimum

MIRCS677 Must add a naked man wearing a wig suing to get his balls waxed that’s educational

Why ? we only have 12 yrs and counting left, unless of course folks ,,,,,,,,,

minister_moe_sa نبي نصير ثاني دولة ☺️

Both sides of the argument?

Well.. We’re likely to have coal sucking class here instead.. Something needs to be done to educate the masses.. Denialists refuse to accept what is happening, so the next generation is the worlds only hope.. As long as boomers don’t totally bollock it first..

what a bludge

Will they be taught about animal agriculture?

Don Thunberg.

Italians..

Victoria scientia. Bravo Italia 🇮🇹

'Untold suffering': Global scientists warn of climate emergencyMore than 350 Australian scientists, including 10 current or ex-CSIRO researchers are among 11,000 from around the world who are declaring a 'climate emergency' and warning of 'untold suffering'. The three stages of climate denial: 1. global warming isn't happening, 2. global warming is happening but it isn't man made, 3. global warming is man made but there's nothing we can do about it. I’ll add it to the list.... Obviously that doesn't mean Australia.

'We are all accountable': Atlassian chief slams Morrison protest crackdownMike Cannon-Brookes says 'instead of attacking people who just want good policy' the government should consider the advantages of addressing climate change. CroweDM Wow! Huge yarn! CroweDM Made his squillions through capitalism but now wants the rest of us to endure socialism. Pfft. Lectures us on rising sea levels while buying million dollar waterfront home. Spare me. CroweDM Still protests can get out of contol as we saw. If Morrison did not stand up for the rights of all then Australia would be run over by violent flexitarians.
