Improving Learning Outcomes for All Young People in 2012

As an amendment to motion S4M-01677 in the name of Michael Russell (Improving Learning Outcomes for All Young People in 2012), leave out from "believes" to end and insert “notes the concerns being expressed by teachers about the implementation of the Curriculum for Excellence and believes that these concerns must be addressed; believes that urgent action is needed to address problems in the availability of supply teachers caused by the changes to pay and conditions; believes that a high-performing early years and schools system is the single greatest tool in improving the employability and life chances of young people; commits to support efforts that increase attainment for all young people from nursery through to post-16 education, and believes that budget cuts to Scotland’s colleges are hindering their ability to raise attainment in post-16 education.”
