  • The Development of Positive Values Through a Democratic Approach to Learning
    ‘We’re citizens now’!: the development of positive values through a democratic approach to learning. Henry Maitles University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland Isabel Gilchrist Stonelaw High School, Rutherglen, South Lanarkshire, Scotland Introduction: education for citizenship Education for citizenship is intrinsically bound up with democracy. In particular, the feeling that young people are citizens now (as opposed to in the future) and that democracy has to be fostered from a young age are central issues in the formal proposals put to governments in Britain by both the Advisory Group (1998) in England and the Review Group (2002) in Scotland. There is a near moral panic in Britain (indeed in most representative democracies around the world) that young people are apathetic, alienated and disinterested in politics. In Britain, there is the example of the recent European Union election in 1999 in which, as a whole, turnout was barely above 20%, in some areas just in double figures and amongst the 18-24 year olds much lower than for the population as a whole. And, indeed, for those who felt that whatever happened in this ‘less important’ election, the General Election would hold up, June 7th. 2001 showed that this was over optimistic; turnout was under 60%, the lowest since 1918. Put bluntly, more people voted for the winner of ‘Big Brother’ on Channel 4 than voted in the Scottish Parliament, Welsh Assembly and London Mayoral elections combined in 1999. Even more worryingly, the Scottish Parliament, described as having the raison d’etre of bringing interest in politics and participation closer to the people and, consequently providing a forum that would reverse the trend in terms of voting participation, achieved a sub 50% turnout in May 2003.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Burgh Primary is one of 124 primary schools throughout South Lanarkshire Council. South Lanarkshire Council is the fifth largest authority in Scotland. It covers the following main areas; Clydesdale in the South which features extensive rural areas, Cambuslang, Rutherglen, Blantyre and Uddingston to the North as well as the towns of East Kilbride and Hamilton. The Council’s Plan Connect sets out the Council’s vision to improve the quality of life for all within South Lanarkshire. For Education Resources this means delivering services of the highest quality as well as striving to narrow the gap. It is about continually improving the services for everyone at the same time as giving priority to children, young people, families and communities in most need. The Resources Plan further builds on the commitment to improve the experience for children, young people and adults as they participate in learning or make use of the wide range of services within Education. The context for service delivery in Education Resources takes account of major national and local developments. These include a commitment to implement all aspects of the national programme, Curriculum for Excellence (CfE); a commitment to work in partnership with colleagues to meet the challenges of ‘Getting it Right for Every Child; and an awareness of the need to seek continuous improvement as we embark on a Journey to Excellence. Locally, the community plan, Stronger Together, and the ambitious outcomes for children within Education Resources’ framework of core policies help to inform the Resources Plan. The aims of South Lanarkshire Council, Education Resources, are shown on the back cover of the handbook.

Our agenda is aimed at providing the best possible learning experiences for all. Experiences which: • inspire learners to become successful, confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors, meeting the needs of all; • transform learning across all our services, Learning Communities and establishments ensuring that our children and young people gain the necessary skills and qualifications that support their aspirations; and • strengthen communities, encouraging the highest of expectations and aspirations for all while reducing inequalities I believe that participation in physical education, physical activity and sport plays a unique role in supporting the aspirations of our children and young people and can change lives for the better. As we know, a high quality experience can have a positive impact on an individual’s health and wellbeing and provide many other benefits that last well beyond school life. Therefore, it is essential that the excellent work by our Active School Coordinators and school networks continues to thrive. We see clear benefits of this work for our children and young people as they gain opportunities to participate, lead and shape their involvement in physical activity. The PEPAS strategy that has been developed by Active Schools, Education Resources and sportscotland is an excellent example of close partnership working and its introduction has supported increased participation, engagement and involvement.
