An important week for Education 👇

Delighted @FergusEwingSNP will be supporting my Outdoor Education Bill 👇

In 5 weeks, MSP's will vote & hopefully enable @mspliz 's bill (making a Residential an entitlement for all) to move to the next stage. Or they could vote it down.... Please write to your MSP! See ardroy-oec.co.uk/residential-bi… #supportoutdoorresidentials

A really positive morning in Holyrood supporting cross party discussions in relation to the Schools (Residential Outdoor Education) (Scotland) Bill. @AHOECUK fully believes that all issues can be resolved in Stage 2. Great work @mspliz #supportoutdoorresidentials
