Watch the debate on SPTV
As an amendment to motion S4M-14311 in the name of Angela Constance (Building on Scotland’s Educational Success), leave out from first "welcomes" to end and insert "believes that the journey toward educational success in Scotland has been hampered by Scottish Government policies that have failed to put the appropriate focus on the most pressing issues, specifically the worrying decline in attainment and key skills as measured by the most recent Scottish survey of literacy and numeracy; is concerned that this decline has a greater detrimental effect on the most deprived children, thereby contributing to the unacceptable attainment gap between pupils from poorer and wealthier backgrounds; notes the challenges that have been faced by teachers and pupils during the implementation of the curriculum for excellence as it relates to achieving better qualitative learning outcomes, and condemns the fact that the severe cuts to the college sector, including the loss of 140,000 places and a 12% real-terms budget cut since 2011-12, have had a disproportionate impact on students with caring responsibilities, disabled students and those who are furthest from education and training opportunities."
