Raising Attainment and Ambition for all Scotland’s Young People

As an amendment to motion S4M-01134 in the name of Angela Constance (Raising Attainment and Ambition for all Scotland's Young People), leave out from “supports” to end and insert "believes that more needs to be done to raise attainment and achievement levels among young people in Scotland; remains acutely concerned that even Scotland's equitable school system fails to overcome socioeconomic deprivation for too many Scots; recognises the success of various initiatives, such as Glasgow’s approach in supporting nurture groups; believes that the Parliament can reach agreement on the importance of early intervention and tackling illiteracy, but, given the abandonment of the SNP government’s flagship policy on class sizes, calls for clarity on which Scottish Government policies will now be the key drivers in raising attainment and opening up opportunity for all."
