Reducing the Cost of the School Day for Low Income Families - Amendment

  • Submitted by: Oliver Mundell, Dumfriesshire, Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party.
  • Date lodged: Monday, 25 April 2022
  • Motion reference: S6M-04138.2
  • Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Tuesday, 26 April 2022

As an amendment to motion S6M-04138 in the name of Shirley-Anne Somerville (Reducing the Cost of the School Day for Low Income Families), leave out from “recognises the” to end and insert “notes the actions being talked about again by the Scottish Government to support children and young people in low-income families to access school education; further notes that the SNP administration has had 15 years in office to make a difference, but has failed to meaningfully improve the life chances of Scotland's young people; expresses concern at the sharp decline in Scotland’s once world-leading education system and the widening of the attainment gap under this First Minister, and the significant cuts to council budgets, which have left schools short of resources, and believes that it is disappointing that Scottish ministers only make education and young people a priority at election time.”
