The motion

That the Parliament recognises that schools across Scotland are breaking up for the summer holidays; thanks Scotland’s headteachers, teachers, support staff and all those working in education for their dedication, professionalism and commitment to supporting children and young people throughout another academic year; acknowledges challenges facing the education workforce, including increasing workload pressures and rising incidence of violence and abusive behaviour in schools; believes that teachers and school staff deserve to be safe, respected and properly supported, and that more must be done to ensure that schools have the resources that they need; recognises what it sees as the invaluable contribution made by everyone working in Scotland’s schools to their communities, and wishes all school staff a well-earned, restful and enjoyable summer break.
