There will also be a panel discussion with representatives from a variety of sectors.

So post your questions for our panel:
1. 'Making Scotland the best place to grow up' is a current government slogan being employed to unite all those who work with children behind a common cause. I would like to ask the panel; do slogans such as these perpetuate a discourse and culture of competition in education and beyond? Should we not in fact be striving to ensure education (life) is equally good for all children regardless of (imaginary) boundaries?
2. What are the best examples that you have experienced, in Scotland or internationally, where schools are successfully addressing disadvantage?
3. Given the SNP commitment to enhanced state provision for children in the early years, and the differences in direction of education policy in Scotland v's England; is an Independent Scotland a better place for children to grow up?
4. In terms of classroom practice, what do you think is needed to enable Scotland to move forward in education?
5. How should a C.f.E look in the classroom?
6. Do you think child centered, responsive planning is at odds with a C.f.E outcomes and need to show progression and depth?
