The motion

As an amendment to motion S6M-20956 in the name of Willie Rennie (Judging the Scottish Government on its Education Record), leave out from “further believes” to end and insert “recognises that Scotland has the highest rate of violent injuries to school staff in the UK and that the Scottish Government has failed to take meaningful action to protect pupils and teachers; notes with concern the high levels of work-related stress reported across the profession; further notes the record number of newly qualified teachers leaving the profession, and believes that, by any reasonable measure, the Scottish Government has failed Scotland’s children and that this failure should be a source of shame.”
