The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the opening of the new Malala building at James Gillespie’s High School; notes that the pupils chose to name the teaching block in honour of the Nobel Peace Prize winner, Malala Yousafzai, because of her work in promoting girls’ education; understands that the design of the new building is unique and one of the most modern in Scotland, with innovative working areas that offer a better learning environment for pupils and teachers; commends the work of the City of Edinburgh Council in ensuring that the new school has been delivered on time; believes that this will allow it to be the benchmark for all new schools in Scotland; welcomes the £20 million in funding from the Scottish Government through the Schools for the Future programme, which, it believes, underlines the government’s commitment to providing modern and sustainable new schools, and congratulates all of the pupils, teachers and staff from James Gillespie’s on what it sees as their continued dedication, hard work and commitment.
