“I was proud to support the formation of the LGBTI Inclusive Education Working Group back in 2017. I am even more proud to see the real difference these world-leading resources and teacher training modules are now making in our schools. Through greater understanding and appreciation of LGBT issues, histories and identities, current and future generations of young people are being supported to reach their full potential; form happy and healthy relationships; and flourish in a diverse and inclusive society. This can only be good for our country.
I am grateful to our dedicated educational professionals for their hard work in continuing to develop their own knowledge: knowledge they are using to provide relevant and engaging learning experiences for our children and young people while developing their understanding of what it is to be an inclusive and respectful person.
As we continue our work to embed LGBT Inclusive Education in the Scottish curriculum, I know we are ensuring our children and young people have the best possible start in life.
Inclusive Education helps us to sustain and advance Scotland’s reputation as a proud, welcoming nation to everyone – no matter who they are.”
