Youth Debates
CL&D Youthwork are hosting a series of youth debates every week. Young people are encouraged to comment on the topic, and earn 50 Young Scot reward points for doing so.
This week’s debate is: Should the SQA have consulted young people in the process of changing the way grades are awarded and should young people be offered the chance to resit any exams they feel they could have done better in?
There is also: Coronavirus lockdown has resulted in the closure of all schools and educational establishments. As a result, children and young people have had the opportunity to gain more life skills than they would have gained by continuing to learn in a formal education setting.
And From now on, all school work should be delivered virtually using online methods of teaching and submission of work.
The topics are sent in by young people. These have a strong education focus but other topics will be included from now on.
All debates are accessed via this link: CL&D Debates
