RSSTwigg and CEE Difference of Opinion on ESD
Posted 04 May 2005 by Jason Judge
Green Education Minister, Derek Twigg, and CEE's Head of Policy, Nick Jones, recently gave contrasting views at a House of Commons seminar on Education for a sustainable future.
The Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Schools said, 'the issues have never been so pressing... education for a sustainable future has never been so important'. But Nick Jones pointed to the absence of government strategy in setting priorities or ensuring local delivery, noting a long-term decline in government support. He expressed particular disappointment at the low profile of education for sustainable development in the new UK Sustainable Development Strategy and the 14-19 Education and Skills White Paper.
