Another Ridiculous 'One Size Fits All' Policy


Nicola Sturgeon took a bit of a pasting over her laptop and tablet policy in last night's leaders debate. 

Challenged to explain why this wasn't done months ago during lockdown Nicola explained the government was concentrating on those in real need.

So presumably the plan is now to switch focus to providing a second tablet or laptop to all those who already have one?

  

Another Ridiculous 'One Size Fits All' Policy (29/03/21)

Another wasteful 'one size fits all' policy from the SNP even though most children and young people have had their own tablets or laptops for years. 

Closing the gap in education means putting more and better resources into those lagging behind instead of pretending that everyone needs the same leg up.

After 14 years in power and a year into Covid lockdown this just smacks of another election gimmick.

One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
