That the Parliament is deeply concerned that Falkirk Council has launched a consultation on reducing the hours within the school week; believes passionately that education is one of the greatest tools to aid social mobility; notes the belief that maximising the amount of time that children spend in the classroom should be supported, especially for those who lost time in the classroom during the COVID-19 pandemic; considers that technology has a role to play in supporting teachers in the classroom but notes the view that the proposals put forward by Falkirk Council are a vision where technology replaces teachers in the classroom, and notes the reported fears regarding the potential impact that a reduction in the school week will have on families, employment and family income.
