Ministry of Education emphasizes climate change education integration By Loveness Hannah Helemah The Ministry of Education, through the Department of Basic and Secondary Education, has emphasized the importance of integrating climate change education into Malawi’s school curriculum. The Principal Secretary for Basic and Secondary Education, Rachel Chimbwete Phiri, made the remarks on Wednesday, 8 October, during the opening of the Climate-Smart Education Validation Workshop held at Crossroads Hotel in Lilongwe. “The workshop is very crucial in identifying possible ways we can move forward as a nation in addressing the impact of climate change through education,” said Phiri. She said the workshop aims to advance the Climate-Smart Education System (CSES) Initiative and explore how Malawi can effectively integrate climate-smart principles into its education framework. Phiri added that participants will review and validate the recommendations shared in upcoming presentations to ensure the proposed strategies are practical and aligned with national education and climate priorities. She described the workshop as a crucial step in addressing the effects of climate change through education, emphasising that education remains the most powerful tool in tackling the climate crisis. She further underscored the importance of equipping children with the knowledge and skills needed to build a sustainable and resilient future. Meanwhile, Acting Deputy Executive Secretary for UNESCO, David Mulera, said the initiative will help the country address challenges associated with climate change. “It is important that Malawi takes advantage of this global initiative to address curriculum issues and education policy matters as far as education delivery is concerned,” said Mulera.
