  • Education Conference and Election Hustings Organised by Cpp Seminars Scotland and the Commission on School Reform
    cpp SEMINARS SCOTLAND Connecting Policy to Practice 'Are we on the right track to improve educational attainment in Scotland'? A ½ day Education conference and election hustings organised by cpp Seminars Scotland and the Commission on School Reform Date: Wednesday 13 April 2016 (9.00 – 13.30) Venue: Netherbow Theatre, Scottish Storytelling Centre, Royal Mile, Edinburgh Cost to attend : £125 + VAT; £99 + VAT for 3rd sector and Charitable Organisations and £80 + VAT for Reform Scotland subscribers Chair: Ross Martin, Chief Executive, SCDI Keynote Speakers: Keir Bloomer, Chair of the Commission on School Reform Jim McColl OBE, Scottish Businessman & Entrepreneur Chris McIlroy, Visiting Professor, University of Strathclyde Politicians Panel –: Alex Cole-Hamilton, Scottish Liberal/Democrats, Angela Constance MSP, Scottish National Party (TBC), Iain Gray MSP, Scottish Labour, Alison Johnstone MSP, Scottish Greens, Elizabeth Smith MSP, Scottish Conservatives: In November 2013, the Commission on School Reform, set up by the think tanks Reform Scotland and the Centre for Scottish Public Policy, published the report ‘By Diverse Means’. The Commission had chosen to concentrate on matters that seemed to be of the greatest importance but which had been relatively neglected. The focus was on change – how it is brought about and why it is often not as successful as intended. The report found that education reforms over 50 years had failed to make a significant improvement to the exam results of children from disadvantaged backgrounds, with an estimated one in five school leavers having few or no qualifications and poor skills in basic literacy and numeracy. It is already clear that education will be one of the main policy issues in the forthcoming Scottish Parliament election and, therefore, revisiting some of the key themes of the Commission’s report is timely to consider whether we are on the right track to improve educational attainment in Scotland.

  • Media Release
    Media Release Over 100 MSPs Champion Scottish Biodiversity for 100 Days under the banner of Scottish Environment LINK’s Species Champions Initiative On 5 June, in celebration of World Environment Day, Scottish Environment LINK[1] members are launching their Species Champion 100-day challenge. For 100 days over 100 Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs) who have accepted to become a Species Champion will be participating in a series of actions raising awareness about their selected species, encouraging policy changes in support of their species and raising awareness about wider biodiversity concerns in Scotland. LINK’s award-winning initiative “Species Champions[2]” pairs MSPs with species that are under threat in Scotland. With almost 1 in 10 species in Scotland at risk of extinction, political support for protecting our precious natural environment has never been more critical. Graeme Dey, MSP for Angus South Constituency and Convener of the Scottish Parliament Environment, Climate Change and Land Reform Committee commented: “Being Species Champion for the Woolly willow has been, and continues to be, an enjoyable learning experience. I am delighted that there are now 100 MSPs committed to championing species. The 100- day challenge will provide a good focal point for this and I look forward to hearing about the actions taken by MSPs to promote their species.” Craig Macadam, Scottish Environment LINK Vice-Chair and Wildlife Subgroup Convenor added: “With the support of over 100 MSP Species Champions, representing 78% of the Scottish Parliament and covering every corner of Scotland we hope to put biodiversity at the centre of the Parliament’s attention.
