Earlier this year we asked our members and the members of the NAEE Executive to write letters to their MPs in support of including environmental education in the curriculum. In particular, we wanted to show our support for Aim 5 of the recommendations given by the Expert Panel in their review of the National Curriculum. The suggestion of Aim 5 was to: “Promote understanding of sustainability in the stewardship of resources locally, nationally and globally” and cited examples of “high performing jurisdictions” whose curricula give a high-level reference to sustainability.
