Recognition that the way out of the economic crisis lies in part through a well-educated and well developed workforce, well equipped for the world of work and able to play a full part in the society of the 21st century. This means a properly funded education system.
This means
• Maintaining teacher numbers.
• Working to reduce class sizes.
• Establishing a national staffing standard in schools.
• Resourcing Curriculum for Excellence development in schools.
• Improving levels of support staff working in schools.
• Maintaining and developing Instrumental Music Teaching in our schools.
• Protecting teacher professional development.
• Protecting and maintaining the fabric of our education establishments.
• Deciding to close a school only on sound educational grounds.
• Tackling poverty and deprivation.
