Lodged by Collette Stevenson (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 27 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates South Lanarkshire College for its work in supporting asylum seekers and refugees coming to Scotland; understands that the College has recently expanded its English Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) provision to enrol 134 students from countries from across the world including Ukraine, Syria, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Poland, Hong Kong, Iran and beyond; believes that this has helped ensure that refugees and asylum seekers coming to South Lanarkshire have opportunities to learn English and improve their prospects for the future, and applauds Vladyslava Poshkova, a refugee from the Ukraine, who, following attendance on an ESOL course, has been successful in gaining a place to study a degree in dancing at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
