Congratulating Wallace Hall Academy

Lodged by Craig Hoy (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party) Standard Motion 26 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Wallace Hall Academy in Thornhill on piloting Scotland’s first Higher course in agriculture, the Young Agri Leader programme; recognises that the course builds on the existing Rural Skills National 5 qualification and offers pupils both practical and classroom-based experience, including business planning, rural affairs and hands-on agricultural learning; welcomes the commitment of teachers, Neil Miller and Aileen Marchant, in designing the course, which it understands is already inspiring pupils to remain in education and pursue rural careers; believes that initiatives like this will help nurture the next generation of agricultural leaders in Scotland, and encourages other schools to consider starting a similar programme.
