School Outdoor Learning have shared findings from the WWF Schools for Nature report in this article in the Independent (9 September 2024).
“Nature should be embedded in the national curriculum to close an access gap between schools in poorer and wealthier areas, the WWF has said. The wildlife group found that the majority of schoolchildren are missing out on outdoor learning and regularly experiencing nature.
Research published in its School for Nature report suggests that only 24% of schools provide daily opportunities for pupils to get out into nature.”
