Most schools in the Highland region are part of an ASG (number of schools grouped together). The Highland Council are removing the Head Teachers from all these schools and replacing them with one administrative head who will have control of all the schools budgets. This is a form of centralisation which not only removes a schools identity but its ability to function independently and hence do the best for the children attending that school. This will shortly be happening to Tongue and Melvich Primary schools who are part of the Farr ASG which contains 4 primary and Farr High school. Tongue is 13 miles west of Farr High and Melvich is 17 miles east. The new administrator will be based at Farr High school along with the budgets for all the schools and although both Tongue and Melvich Parent Councils have strongly opposed these changes the Highland Council are proceeding anyway. Compromises will inevitably be made by this administrator which will benefit some schools at the detriment to others. This is WRONG WRONG WRONG and should not be happening.

I believe this is important as it shows that girls can do whatever they like even if everyone says that they can't. It shows girls that they shouldn't be down about themselves and should show there talents, not hide them.

Alfie is unable to go to school due to how far away it is.

These libraries provide a quiet place for people to study and work in peace and safety, and the books on the shelves provide a vital lifeline of education to many children across the city region. Without them, many will lose a vital part of their everyday lives!

There are charities that are doing amazing jobs getting into schools to run mental health awareness sessions but it is not regular enough or even existent in some schools. I struggled hugely growing up in school and struggled with mental health but did not know what was wrong with me until I experienced a mental breakdown at around 15 years old. I have trained with 'Mind' as a youth wellbeing trainer and delivered mental wellbeing sessions in schools and it really is needed permanently.

New babies and mother's are leaving hospital too early. This is affected the babies ability to learn to feed. This is potentially lethal and inhibits a new mothers confidence to continue to breast feed. Such babies miss out on the gifts that breast feeding provides such as increased immunity and decreased sensitivity to food allergens aswell as the emotional bond and comfort breast feeding provides.

Take the EU referendum for example. Many older adults voted to leave the EU, but the people who will be affected in the future by these changes didn't get a say in what happened. If the leaving the EU has its difficulties, then the younger people will be affected. That is why I want you to sign this petition.

There is a pre school sports session on and then many use soft play after, would be good to get drink, snack or lunch. Vending machines wouldn't work for hot drinks and the snack one is filled with fizzy juice and chocolate and crisps

The loans are tax payers money and must not be sold to the private sector who would benefit from them and may rewrite the contracts to further disadvantage the students.

A personal experience in mine was that I had been learning (and still am) how to answer question 3 on an exam I will sit once and forget about mere hours after it's completion. Most of the skills we learn in school are learned solely 'to pass exams' which don't assess students on practical abilities.

16 year old's have just as much knowledge about politics as anyone 18 or over. In the Uk it is a priority to tech Citizenship or some form of politics. In the Scottish referendum 75% of 16-17 year old's voted compared with 54% of 18-24 year old's. This has proven to work in Scotland, so i think that the Uk should apply this voting system as a Law.

Higher education has fees around £9000-£20000 per year. Not everyone can afford this education to pursue their career. Let everybody have equal opportunities to have the education if they want it. Help society understand that all education is equally important.
