Tuesday, 20 May 2008 12:41
Voice: the union for education professionals has welcomed the Government's White Paper on excluded pupils,
Back on Track: A strategy for modernising alternative provision for young people, published today (20 May 2008).
Principal Officer (Education)
Alison Johnston said: “We are pleased that the Government is addressing the growing issue of disruptive children. It is important that there is high quality and successful provision for excluded pupils, whether that is provided by the public or private sector.
"Pupils who exhibit disruptive behaviour need to have a quality education and the opportunity to address the issues causing their behaviour.
"Other students need to have the opportunity to complete their education without disruption.”
Voice will give its response in full as part of the consultation process.
