This includes: less use of visits to environmental/conservation areas or centres; less use of visits to museums or science/ technology centres; less participation in arts-based activities; less participation in projects with local communities; less participation in projects to improve their school’s sustainability or environment; and less participation in school decision-making. 15 The figure covers responses from those who answered the array of questions (487 respondents), and those who also reported currently teaching geography (194 respondents), currently teaching science (173 respondents), and currently teaching at secondary level (307 respondents); these numbers reflect those who reported teaching the subject or level and who also answered this array of questions.
