What children want and need from education has been summed up in a new Children’s Parliament (CP) report. “School should be a joyful place” draws on children’s participation in CP programmes, projects and consultations from 2008 to 2016, and is further enhanced by a recent workshop with children in which they reviewed findings and authenticated the publication’s key messages. What children have said was also the basis of a submission to the Scottish Government’s Education Governance Review.
