Education and Opportunity

Proceeding contribution from Jamie Stone (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 24 July 2024. It occurred during Debate on Education and Opportunity.

First, may I congratulate you on your appointment, Madam Deputy Speaker?

Further to the point that the right hon. Gentleman has just made, I think it is fair to boast that Scottish education used to be the envy of the world, yet we now have so many staff vacancies in four of our highland secondary schools—Ullapool, Kinlochbervie, Farr and Gairloch—that the kids simply are not being taught what they ought to be taught and are having to rely in some cases on online learning, which is scarcely satisfactory. That is why the parents have banded together to form the Save our Rural Schools campaign. Is that not a damning comment on the Scottish Government’s delivery of education north of the border?
