James Clerk Maxwell stands beside Einstein and Newton in the trinity of physicists who explained how the universe works. The other two are global superstars, but Maxwell is barely known in his own country, Scotland. To celebrate a great man and encourage future generations to take risks and think big, Maxwell should be the face on the next RBS banknote. The greatest Scotsman to ever live deserves to be a household name.

We believe that the place of citizenship education and PSHE in the curriculum should be radically overhauled through a youth-led UK-wide review; they are really important for young people’s growth and development as they teach vital life skills and can be the first steps to engaging young people in political life. Teaching staff should be specifically trained to a national standard to deliver citizenship education following this review. A curriculum to prepare us for life is important to the many young people in the united Kingdom, during the UKYP national debate at the house of commons this came in as the top 5 priority to deal with and as a DMYP i will make sure that there education prepares them for life hence the title 'curriculum to prepare us for life' this will hopefully if successful allow students to gain access to an education that will include things such as: • Political Education • Sex and Relationships Education • Cultural Awareness Education • Community Cohesion Education • Finance Skills Education • Sustainable Living Education • Citizenship Education If you want to know more visit the link below: http://www.ukyouthparliament.org.uk/campaign/curriculum-life/

I feel like this is a very important thing as children have the right to their education and can't have it if they can't get to school in the first place. Also we want children to be safer

This image instigates racial hatred and violence! I find this image unacceptable, offensive and an act of racism from the Daily Mail which will only create further divide and hate among people. After the shocking events of the weekend, surely now more than ever, we need to come together instead of creating a larger divide through hateful propagander!

It is important because there are so many people that require European Portuguese in google translate. At present Google only offer Brazilian Portuguese on this app, I am learning European Portuguese and have read many comments asking why there is nothing available to help their studies, only Brazilian which has many differences to Continental Portuguese - Come on google make this available!

Every Child a Lifesaver is based around a crucial goal: to ensure that all children get the chance to learn first aid in schools. The Emergency First Aid Education Bill, put forward by Teresa Pearce MP and requiring all state funded secondary schools in England teach first aid, would make that happen. Too many people suffer needlessly when first aid skills could have helped and sadly only 24% of secondary schools currently teach first aid. By making first aid mandatory in all state-funded secondary schools through the Bill, can we create a generation that are equipped with the skills and confidence to step forward.

Hello all We are a group of teachers at Lambeth College and would like to ask you to support us in our fight to keep our jobs and to encourage the government to save teachers’ jobs and to continue to provide affordable courses for the community. The government has already implemented cuts of 25% to FE colleges with plans to impose further cuts. We would like to ask you to support us in our campaign to stop the cuts to adult and further education. We would also like to ask you to supports us and urge the government to save teachers' jobs and to revise decisions that force teachers and students to bear the whole brunt of the FE cuts. Despite the disproportionately high salaries that senior managers receive, no senior management posts have been lost in the recent past or as a result of government cuts. In fact our principal has been awarded a 13% pay rise and his salary is now above 150k (he earns more than the prime minister) and a large number of senior managers get over 80k. It is strange how no one flinches at the fact that a college with a serious deficit and funding cuts of more than 25% on its budget can afford to pay management staff such salaries. An average lecturer gets 25 to 28k and has not had a pay rise for the past seven years. Teachers have to teach larger classes, some of them with more than 30 students in very precarious conditions, especially in the Brixton and Vauxhall centres. The equipment and facilities are decrepit and not fit for purpose. Management have now decided to make the equivalent of 8 full time posts in the ESOL department redundant. This is despite the fact that it lost 14 members of staff in July this year. The ESOL department recruited well over 2,000 students in September. It is the largest department of the college by far and there are still many students on the waiting list desperate for classes. Stand up to the cuts! Defend Adult Education! Sign the petition!

There has been growing concern about the damaging impact of sugar on health - from the state of people's teeth to type-2 diabetes and obesity. To put this in context, a typical can of fizzy drink contains about nine teaspoons of sugar How many do you put in your tea/coffee?

It has never been clear since the dawn of the digital downloads era and we, the artists, often earn a very little income from selling a good amount of our music works which cost us a lot of time, love and money. It is important because the music industry is in crisis because of greedy companies like these (Deezer and others). Whilst I am a full time working musician, working hard and struggling to survive, these people and their employees which little have to do with music, make 20 times our profit just by addressing the products WE create, somewhere. ITunes for instance has a much fairer share of the profits with the artists who sell on it. I am a music producer, band leader of a successful Funk band, having sold 1715 copies of my first album on spotify and having earned 5.4€ from it sounds rather offensive. This is not the way the music business should go as they are killing the arts and the art of recording albums. I shall make my money back from the works I sell, not funding my music through borrowed money. We demand a fairer share of these streamed music deals, because in the past they've promised that they would give us more when they'd have more subscribers. Spotify accounts for 20 million active users and still pays artists around 0.002 pence per stream. This has to come to an end!

Learning is THE most important of activities. Education costs money. Why should money be wasted to make private individuals (the directors of the agencies) rich?

Between April 24 and May 14 2013, three young workers at Foxconn electronics factory in Zhengzhou, China, jumped from buildings to their deaths. 24 others have committed suicide since 2010 because of appalling conditions, such as being sacked if you speak at work, and ritual humiliations in front of hundreds of colleagues. Foxconn are making computers for Dell, Apple, Acer, HP and others. Computers for universities are made in factories like this. A new organisation, Electronics Watch, will work with public sector bodies and electronics workers, to investigate factories making our computers, and start to improve rights and working conditions. The Workers Rights Consortium is a similar body with a focus on the clothing industry.

I believe this issue is important because we have to whatever we can to save the lives of those that have embarked on these journeys. These children have had to flee their homes in search for a better life and we need to provide some sort of comfort for them. A few Syrian kids were asked What makes you happy? Moiad,8, from Dara'a, Syria said "There is no war here. Reading and playing. Helping my mum." Briksam,9,from Homs, Syria."I like going to school,studying and taking tests.Being with my family." Najam,6,from Homs, Syria. "Toys.When my older brother, Ahmed, comes to visit." These Children only want one thing , to live their lives as normal children and this is something they should be able to experience in a free world and not caught in the middle of war. We must remember that although their homes have been taken , we need to ensure their futures are not taken away from them. To find out more go to www.unicef.org.uk
