In today’s podcast I speak to my colleague Stuart Waiton founder of The Scottish Union for Education. Some listeners will know my role as Parent and Supporters Coordinator for the organisation which seeks to address the rapid decline in Scottish Education. Stuart is an academic at the University of Abertay in criminology with a background in politics and journalism. He is also a Dad and was involved in the campaign to stop the named person scheme here in Scotland which would have had Scottish Government assign a state guardian to every child overriding the parental role.
In this podcast we discuss the road which led to the evoluation of SUE and how this is not just about a decline in standards but in knowledge. Reference points which have been understood for generations are being eroded and discarded which is despite the claims of inclusivity narrows things beyond perception.
If Education is a concern to you do consider becoming a member of SUE
