Teachers
Curated to help advocators
Eco-Schools Malaysia provides training opportunities and certification in Climate Change Education (CCE).
These professional development resources have been curated to help educators build their content knowledge, integrate the most up-to-date and relevant environmental education resources and hone their classroom skills and abilities. See upcoming training opportunities and discover webinars and other environmental education resources from around the country.
In a UNESCO survey on Climate Education, it was revealed that only one in five teachers felt ready to teach climate change in the classroom and 70% of youth could not explain climate change. According to Education International, in some countries, teachers are not allowed to teach climate change due to political stands, and only 10% of teachers know about climate change.
Malaysia takes the lead in Asia to counter these numbers and promote Climate Change Education for Teachers. Ensuing from talks Green Growth Asia Foundation (GGAF) had with Office for Climate Education (OCE) during the COP27 in Sharm-el-Sheikh in November 2022, the idea for a Climate Change Education course for teachers quickly took hold and was jointly-developed to a recognized certification level, corroborated and approved by the OCE.
