Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
Climate Action and Sustainable Development Education: Discussion.
Mr. Yuming Lian:
When one says there are fewer initiatives once one goes into secondary school, one is always pointing it at possibly the majority or the minority in each case, but it is never the same for every single school. From the point of view of our teachers, one of them actually said that when people feel ownership, they are more likely to sustain the positive changes. That is then tying into the other point that how it is delivered will determine the success and the message getting across to students. The content needs to be implemented at the correct level and students do not want to watch experts talking about it on a webinar for three hours because our attention spans are just not there.
