Suzanne Moss, Head of Education and Learning at the RHS, comments on the launch of a new Natural History GCSE

Suzanne Moss, Head of Education and Learning at the RHS, comments on the launch of a new Natural History GCSE:

“The approval of a Natural History GCSE is a major step forward in environmental education. When people understand the world around them they are much more likely to want to, and to be able to protect it. We are delighted that this diverse and inclusive programme considers a wide range of environments, from rural, to urban, to cultivated and will link more learners with the possibilities of the plant world. It will open up new avenues for young people in their careers, and support the protection of the planet at an individual and organisational level.”
