The EIS is committed to the promotion of sound learning, rooted in equality. We oppose racism in all its forms, and advocate for educational establishments to be safe, inclusive environments for all children, young people and staff.
On this area of our website, you can find out more about the EIS’s work towards race equality, access opportunities, events and learning, and useful anti-racist learning resources.
If you have a suggestion for what you think should be included on the website, please email John Harris (jharris@eis.org.uk).
Q&A continues.
Ms Bradley referred to the senior phase in schools, more needs to be done to encourage young people to stay on in education possibly by a change of culture giving more prominence to vocational subjects, and by less assessment.
Ms Gilruth said that our education system in Scotland has not changed but our pupils have.
Keen that education does not become weaponised in the future.
We are asking education to do a lot & schools are now meeting more societal needs now compared to 20 years ago.
Andrea Bradley quoted IPPR reseach on EIS education policies:
‘Costs IPPR has estimated for implementing these policies are not insignificant, but international evidence suggests it is highly plausible that these would be outweighed by the benefits.’
