Proposals for new new national body representing parents
16/04/2009 20:25
Today’s edition of the The Herald carries an article and an editorial on proposals to set-up a new national body to give families a stronger voice on school issues. The proposals for a new body appear to have the backing of Scotland's education secretary, Fiona Hyslop. As one might expect, there have already been a number of alternative views expressed regarding this proposal from bodies that may be affected.
The Scottish Government will next invite representatives from all of Scotland's parent councils to attend a conference in June to discuss how they can make the creation of a national parent body a reality.
