Climate change: Northern Ireland pupils to study new qualification

GCSE and AS-level pupils in Northern Ireland can study for a new qualification in climate change and environmental action from September.

It includes modules on things like understanding the role of carbon in climate change, tackling single-use plastics, fast fashion and climate campaigning.Charlene McKeown said the qualification is a quick solution rather than waiting for curriculums to change "There's a definite need for our young people to become aware of the environmental crisis that they are essentially living in and about to face," she told BBC News NI.

Education_NI Yet another useless gcse that won’t prepare them for work or life. But creates a false sense of achievement through achieving absolutely nothing worthwhile . These GCSEs can be completed in less than two hours by basic common sense never mind two years work .
