This features in a recent article in The Tablet - the International Catholic News Weekly - which appeared via my Google Alert which I have set up. The quote comes via an event she was speaking at called EA Sustain, an East Anglia festival in Colchester. I almost attended, but couldn't make it in the end. The event was about reframing education.
The article features the new GCSE Natural History and has a useful quote from Mary on the new specification:
“The natural world today is a focus of angst about climate change, people see a planet in meltdown and feel helpless. But that isn’t the whole story. Planet earth is also a place of wonder, joy, enlightenment and wisdom. By focusing on the individual species around us we find ourselves part of the unfolding drama of life on earth, we enter the story and feel empowered to protect it. We must look to life on earth, as well as earth’s climate, to get a whole picture and to find again the joy of understanding and caring for nature. Doing what it takes to mitigate the climate crisis will be much easier.”The article seems to confirm that the qualification will now be available from 2026. A further delay...
