I don’t know what to think of this. I’m all for sustainability and minimising impact (my recent posts were down voted because I suggested a more sustainable but inconvenient option for nappies) and I’m all for teaching children about climate and activism in general. Teaching children to be activists on a specific topic though feels like an overstep.

>The subject aims to develop students’ capacity for “informed and meaningful action for a just and sustainable world” as they engage with key sustainability challenges, including the climate crisis, according to the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA)

>It will be grounded, the NCCA said, in scientific evidence and in human rights principles.
A key attraction for many students will be the fact that 40% of marks will be awarded for an “action project” based on a brief that will be set out annually by the State Examinations Commission.
According to the NCCA, the action project provides students with an opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of the concepts and principles they have learned throughout the course, while also employing the practical strategies and thinking they have developed to learn to take action in the area of climate action and sustainable development.
Seems quite reasonable. Headline is a little sensational
When do we get critical thinking and education around social media and online disinformation / psyops?
Russia even made an Irish language website to sway people in our recently election and also outside of election they push divisive content – ai is making this so easy for them now
