An Inconvenient Truth included in school curriculum

CLIMATE change documentary An Inconvenient Truth will be included in the national curriculum as part of a bid to educate students on environmental sustainability across all subjects.

It would be the first time the film, which follows former US vice-president Al Gore's climate change campaign, has been included in the school English curriculum.

Education ministers agreed two years ago that a focus on environmental sustainability would be integrated across the curriculum.

The curriculum, which is due to be finished in December, will contain lessons on climate change and sustainability across English, maths, science and history.

Under a draft modern history curriculum, there would be lessons on environmental history so "students come to appreciate the demographic and environmental consequences of growth".

In biology, students would learn about sustainability as a social and environmental issue and the effects of climate change.

A spokesman for the Australian Curriculum Assessment and Reporting Authority said sustainability had a place in modern history studies and English.

An Inconvenient Truth was not a required text, but teachers could use it to get students to undertake their own research into its claims.


TOPICS: Crime/Corruption; Extended News; Government; News/Current Events
KEYWORDS: algore; australia; cooling; inconvenient; lies; school; truth; warming
Maybe they can also teach that the rookie Hussein isn't a radical or that Algore is sane.
