UnknownThat the Parliament notes with interest the recent suggestion that Al-Qalam Primary School in Glasgow might seek to become state-funded; believes that, in cases where there is sufficient demand from families for a particular type of school, this should be given serious consideration by both central and local government; further believes that society benefits from a variety of cultures, religions and beliefs and that a "one size fits all" education system would not be of benefit to all of the children in Scotland, but considers that, while having different types of school can be desirable, the norm should be that state-funded schools should come under the auspices of the appropriate local authority.

Possible final motion text as originally lodged
This is a computer’s best guess at applying carried amendments to the original motion text. It uses simple text rules for phrases such as “insert at end”, “after X insert Y”, and “leave out from X to end and insert Y”. Treat it as an aid, not the official motion text.
