Submission Documents: By Councillor Feargal Dalton:- "Council notes the progress made in attainment by our pupils in Glasgow, and across Scotland. Furthermore, Council recognises the ongoing improvements in positive destinations for Glasgow school leavers in 2014/15 and thanks pupils, parents and staff for their hard work and dedication. Council notes that an attainment gap continues to exist between pupils from different socio-economic backgrounds and between schools in different parts of Glasgow. Council believes that closing the gap in education is crucial to ensuring that all of Glasgow's children and young people have equal opportunity to fulfil their potential, as well as to addressing other deep-seated inequalities in the city. Council resolves to re-double efforts to close Glasgow's attainment gap and to address skill gaps and skill shortages via the education service in Glasgow, working with partners in further and higher education and within the business community in the city. Council further resolves to work positively with the Scottish Government to develop and deliver new approaches to educational provision which will complement and expand exisiting provision. Council therefore instructs the Chief Executive to write to the Cabinet Secretary for Education and Skills to offer any and all assistance to the Scottish Government to close the attainment gap."
