Want to get involved in weekly debates on topics chosen by young people?

There will be a series of debates every week allowing you to share your thoughts on topics which are important to young people. You will also earn 50 Young Scot reward points for giving your opinion.

There are 3 debates every week. Here are some examples of the topics:

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?

From now on, all school work should be delivered virtually using online methods of teaching and submission of work.
