North Somerset's Weston College has said a green skills drive in the West of England's economy must be as “inclusive as possible” after the Government revealed new plans for how the education sector could help tackle climate change.
Secondary school students will be able to study the natural world through a new GCSE in natural history from 2025, as part of a strategy unveiled by The Department for Education last week (April 21).
Education Secretary Nadhim Zahawi also said opportunities would be provided for people of all ages to train, retrain or upskill to go into green careers.
