More Climate Indoctrination In The Classroom
A new ‘climate change’ GCSE will teach students ‘how to conserve the planet’. For ‘teach’ read ‘indoctrinate’.
The broad outline of the course has been drawn up – and now, officials will work with exam boards and Ofqual, the exams regulator, to design a full curriculum.
The course will aim to give young people “a deeper knowledge of the natural world around them”, and it will be available to students from 2025.
Education Secretary Nadhim Zahawi, who will formally announce the qualification on Thursday, said: “The new natural history GCSE will offer young people a chance to develop a deeper knowledge and understanding of this amazing planet, its environment and how to conserve it.”
It is one of the first new qualifications to be announced since the exam system was reformed in 2017.
Broad outline for course drawn up
The Department for Education says the natural history course would enable students “to explore the world by learning about organisms and environments, environmental and sustainability issues”.
The broad outline of the course has been drawn up, but now officials will work with exam boards and Ofqual, the exams regulator, to design a full curriculum.
A 2021 global survey across 10 countries demonstrated the depth of anxiety many young people are feeling about ‘climate change’.
Nearly 60 percent of young people approached by Bath University said they felt very worried or extremely worried about the environment.
The survey spoke to 10,000 people aged between 16 and 25.
What are students currently taught?
Students already learn about the urbanisation and landscapes in geography and habitats in science.
During COP26, the education secretary said teachers will be supported in delivering ‘climate change’ education through a new science curriculum in place by 2023.
‘Climate change’ is currently on the curriculum and taught in science, citizenship and geography from Key Stage 3 (the beginning of secondary school) onwards.
In primary school (Key Stages 1 and 2) pupils are taught the core concepts – including what the climate is, how it changes, and the difference between manmade and natural environments.
The education secretary will also launch a wider Sustainability and Climate Change Strategy, which will “help young people develop excellent knowledge of STEM and practical opportunities to improve biodiversity and climate resilience”.

Editor’s note: The survey only noted the views of people aged 16 to 25, which sociologists tell us is the ages where people reason emotionally. After about 25, people start to reason logically, which is why most older people can recognise a scam, where many youngsters cannot. It is for this reason all the climate propaganda is aimed at young people, to illicit an emotional response.
