Thinktastic kicked off 2010 with a campaign for the Educational Institute for Scotland with a clear call to action to policy makers in the Scottish and UK Governments to maintain investment in education through this economic downturn.
For Scotland to be the smart, confident, healthy, prosperous and influential nation it aspires to be, investing in the education of its young people is vital. Their future is Scotland’s future – they will be parents, workers, innovators and leaders. For the current economic downturn to impact on that investment would be ‘folly.’
This campaign is designed to appeal not just to teachers, parents and politicians but to the wider Scottish community - health professionals, the Police, employers and the full range of people who have an interest in our young people being given the best possible grounding.
That’s why the campaign is unashamedly populist– it’s message is clear ‘the recession is a reason to invest more in Scottish education not an excuse to reduce it. And, it is not our children who caused the economic mayhem we find ourselves in.
