Submission Documents: By Councillor Rhiannon Spear:- "COVID-19 and the subsequent lockdown from March this year was an event without parallel in Education. Never before had pupils been sent home to the care of their families for such a prolonged period. Providing them with ongoing support and education presented teachers, other education staff, parents, carers and the pupils themselves with an unprecedented challenge. How the City responded to that challenge is set out in the report 'Glasgow Stories of Recovery, Resilience and Reconnection' and this Council commends that report. In particular Council further commends all of the teachers, staff, parents, carers, pupils and representative groups such as Glasgow City Parents Group who rose to the challenge of ensuring that educational continuity and support was available from March to August. This City thanks all of them for their work and effort. Council notes that the challenge of COVID continues but also notes and welcomes the fact that our Education system is better prepared for remote learning and online support as a result of facing the challenges of recent months. Further, Council reaffirms its commitment to be a Nurturing City with strong relationships, compassion and adaptive leadership at its core." Help Icon
