- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Climate Action and Sustainable Development Education: Discussion. (28 May 2024)
Jim O'Callaghan: I thank all the students and guests for coming before the committee today. Starting with Mr. Irfan, I would have thought it was a very positive development that we are going to have a separate climate action and sustainable development course at senior cycle. Does he agree with me that there are many younger people who are interested in climate action and the climate crisis and that this...

Jim O'Callaghan: Okay. Turning to Ms Adhikari, what would she like to see being covered in this course? I do not know if she has had an opportunity to engage with the Department in respect of the course, but even if she has not, what elements of the whole issue of climate action and sustainable development would she like to see included in the course?

Jim O'Callaghan: I thank Ms Adhikari. Moving to Mr. Lian, I am conscious that putting a course on the secondary-cycle level is not just for the purposes of something the State thinks is civically important, although it is. Obviously, the course must also be examined, marked and assessed. It is a serious subject, so we would want to ensure it is properly appraised by markers. Would he view this as being a...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Climate Action and Sustainable Development Education: Discussion. (28 May 2024)
Jim O'Callaghan: In a query for Ms Doyle, I suppose, ultimately, when we examine the detail of climate change and the climate crisis, we can see that, at its heart, scientific, observable changes are happening. How prominent should the academic and scientific study of it be in the course? With the greatest respect, it cannot just be about activism. If we have a leaving certificate course that is just about...

Jim O'Callaghan: My next question is for Ms Murphy. It is on the third level sector, in respect of which she has expertise. I am surprised there are not specific subjects that correspond with the proposed climate action and sustainable development course. Does Ms Murphy think it is too disparate at third level? Do we need more individual courses that focus on this issue?
