SNP Schools Plan Fails Maryhill
June 17th, 2009 | by Site Admin |
Patricia Ferguson MSP has expressed disappointment at the SNP Government’s failure to offer any hope of new schools for Maryhill.
The Labour MSP questioned the Education Minister in Parliament on her plans but the response she received fails to offer any hope to pupils and parents from schools facing closure at the end of the current term.
Ms Ferguson said:
“The SNP promised to match Labour’s school building programme brick for brick. We have waited over two years for them to announce how they will do that and their proposals offer nothing to the people of Maryhill.
“The latest phase of Glasgow City Council’s pre-12 strategy is the fifth of an ongoing programme to create the most effective education environment for pupils and teachers. It is however the first under an SNP Government and the first to offer not a single new school.
“As a result almost 500 pupils will see their schools close at the end of the current term and they will be moved to schools which, in some cases, are in not much better condition. The SNP Government has failed to match Labour’s school building programme in Glasgow and has failed my constituents in Maryhill.”
