Sustainability and the chemistry curriculum: the view from academia and industry
- Date 18 Jan 2022
We have published part two of our report into sustainability and climate change in the chemistry curriculum, this time focusing on the view from academia and industry.
In part one of the report, published in November 2021, we published the results of surveys of educators and young people in the UK and Ireland, showing that both educators and students think that sustainability and climate change should be prioritised more highly in the chemistry curriculum.
Now, in part two of our research, we have found that practising chemists working in industry and academia – in other words, the potential future employers of today’s students – also agree that these topics need to be addressed directly in the chemistry curriculum.
Furthermore, 68% of respondents in this group say that there is a gap in current chemical knowledge and skills and those needed for green jobs now and in the future.
