Congratulating Glasgow Clyde College
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates Glasgow Clyde College for its innovative recycling initiative, Gift-tech, which aims to help students and local communities by providing valuable resources for learning, as well as to reduce digital social exclusion; recognises the small team of volunteers who have dedicated their spare time to ensure the project gets off the ground; understands that up to 300 devices a year may be made available to students and local community groups; notes that the programme will support people who are facing hardship, on low incomes or benefits and who may be at risk of further social exclusion or dropping out of learning, and commends the College for its foresight to deliver a practical solution to ICT recycling for the education sector.
