In 2006, the Scottish Government agreed to support our work to foster
Scottish Schools debating to the tune of £25,000. It was
decided, after discussions with The Scottish Government and Learning
& Teaching Scotland, that the best way to use this in the
promotion of schools debating in Scotland was to develop definitive
resources for teachers and pupils to promote the use of debate in the
classroom and as an extra-curricular activity.
These resources were published in September 2007 and were
launched at a reception in the Scottish Parliament.
A selection of the materials can be found at
www.ltscotland.org.uk/debatinginschools.
We are grateful to the Scottish Government for their imaginative
recognition of the important part debating can play in improving the
life changes of young Scots, and for their endorsement of our work to
date.
