Rennie: Scottish education deserves better than third decade of SNP

Responding to new official Scottish Government statistics showing people's satisfaction with schools is at an all-time low, Scottish Liberal Democrat education spokesperson Willie Rennie MSP said:

"Scottish education just isn't what it used to be. We used to have one of the best education systems in the world. but under the SNP it is now just average.

"Children with additional support needs aren’t having their needs met, too many pupils are frequently absent, and schools are more violent than ever before.

"Pupils, parents and teachers deserve better than a third decade of the SNP.

"Scottish Liberal Democrats have a realistic plan to get things done, getting Scottish education back to its best, expanding pupil support in every school and giving every child the best start in life.

"At next May’s election, wherever you are, you can vote for change with fairness at its heart by backing the Scottish Liberal Democrats on the second peach ballot.”
