Submission Documents: Motion by Councillor Christina Cannon:- "Council welcomes the latest statistics published by Skills Development Scotland that shows 97.1% of Glasgow's young people went on to positive destinations, exceeding the national average for the second year in a row. Council particularly commends the four schools in the city who achieved 100%: Hyndland Secondary School, Lochend High School, Saint Roch's Secondary School & Glasgow Gaelic School. Council thanks our teachers, education staff, Council officers, school communities, parents, carers and the young people themselves for achieving this result and reiterates our commitment to providing a high-quality education system where all children and young people are able to learn in an environment that helps them to reach their full potential. Council notes the recent Health and Wellbeing Census 2021-22 which has given us useful data to build and act upon about pupils' priorities. Council notes that when S1-6 pupils were asked what they thought they would most likely be doing when they left school 63% said they thought they would go in to further or higher education; 6% into an apprenticeship or trade, 3% into employment and, 22% said they did not know. Council resolves to continue looking at educational outcomes through a holistic lens, acknowledging that a child's health & wellbeing also contributes to their ability to learn and achieve. Council instructs the Executive Director of Education to bring an update to a future committee outlining good practice across Glasgow's schools so that we can continue to build on these foundations and get it right for every child in the city."
