撸sir视频 and Bute Council proposes an extensive programme of community engagement to discuss and develop innovative ways to ensure sustainable management of rural schools.
Schools in 撸sir视频 and Bute face a unique set of challenges, including rural settings, declining populations, and competition for resources. But the region鈥檚 schools also enjoy a unique set of advantages, being leaders in digital access, outdoor learning, and engagement with their individual school communities.
撸sir视频 and Bute Council鈥檚 Education Transformation Programme promises to enhance the region鈥檚 education services through better access to resources and staff, strengthened leadership, and enhanced connections among schools. That collaboration begins right now, with a proposal for community and stakeholder engagement.
Councillors have unanimously agreed today that engagement should be expanded on a Council wide basis to provide maximum opportunity for communities, parents and carers, teachers, Head Teachers, trade unions and elected officials to have their say. Their input will be central to shaping the Education Transformation Programme proposals before they are presented to the Community 撸sir视频 Committee
