Climate change propaganda could be cut from the classroom, as a government adviser demands pseudo-science is removed from the national curriculum.
Tim Oates, who is leading an overhaul of school syllabuses for five- to 16-year-olds, has signalled the end of ‘climate wash’ in schools.
He is calling for a return of ‘science in science’ and for children to be taught facts, not fads.
