TEACH EARTH & DISCOVER EARTH 2019

TEACH THE FUTURE
WHAT IS IT?
WE NEEDEDUCATIONAL REFORM
to teach young people about the urgency, severity and
scientific basis of the climate emergency and ecological
crisis.
Teach the Future is a youth-led campaign to urgently
repurpose the entire education system around the
climate emergency and ecological crisis. It’s not good
enough that sustainability is restricted to a few subjects
and that most of our teachers and lecturers don’t know
enough about it. Our education system must teach the
truth and prepare us for the future, because we are the
future. We want a review, a new Act of Parliament,
substantial new funding and net-zero
buildings. Education is a devolved matter, so we are
starting with England, but will develop branches of this
campaign for the devolved nations soon.
This campaign is led by students.
