MSP Goes Back to School

Banff & Buchan MSP Stewart Stevenson will be visiting New Byth Primary School tomorrow (Friday) at 9.00am as part of MPs’ Back to School Day, organised by the Global Campaign for Education, a worldwide coalition working to end the injustice where approximately 100 million children throughout the world get no school education.

The Global Campaign for Education includes the Scottish Education Trade Unions and charities including Oxfam in Scotland and Save the Children, as well as many other trade unions and organisations from around the world.

Speaking before the visit, Mr Stevenson said:

“It is important for our young people to realise the importance of education and the implication of a life without the chance to learn. MPs’ Back to School Day is connecting them with local democracy and with children worldwide to make a difference.

“Basic education is a human right. It is scandalous that so many children have never had the chance to go to school. World leaders have promised to tackle this problem but until they pledge the necessary funds, too many children will continue to miss out

“The message to world leaders is clear – Get all children into school!”
