Alva Academy, A Vision School for Holocaust Education
The motion
That the Parliament commends Alva Academy on being awarded the status of a Vision School for Holocaust Education; congratulates both students and teachers on this prestigious award, which is a testament to the phenomenal work undertaken at the academy; understands that this award is in partnership with the University of West of Scotland; recognises that Holocaust education comprises learning about and from the Holocaust, contributing to anti-racist education and education for citizenship, supporting religious equality and explores the wider contemporary relevance of the Holocaust; believes that anti-racist education should be actively promoted in all schools across Scotland; notes that the Vision Schools project aims to promote excellence in Holocaust teaching by rewarding innovation, encouraging sharing of good practice and is part of a whole-establishment approach to promoting equality and inclusion and challenging discrimination and prejudice, and strongly believes that anti-Semitism and racism have no place in Scotland.
