PE1879/C - Provide an accessible and professionally developed learning and teaching resource on Israel and Palestine
In my view it is very important that this petition is given through consideration by the committee.
The petition is attempting to assist young people to access bias - free education on topics related to Israel / Palestine.
Currently there is a professionally developed learning and teaching resource on this topic on the EIS website.
However, to improve access to the resource the petition proposes that the resource is actually hosted on the Education Scotland website.
It is important to remember that the resource on the EIS website has been professionally developed.
I believe that it is therefore sensible that the petition calls for the re-establishment of a strategic review group to oversee any revision of the original resource which was developed in 2016.
As I have said, it is vital that Scotland’s young people are able to access bias free education and information on Israel / Palestine.
