Many thanks to Dottie for alerting me to this via the Guardian: Pupil suspensions in England hit record high, rising by nearly a third year on year, DfE figures show
From the Scotsman, no friend of the SNP Government, on 25 March 2024:
Across Scotland, there were 11,675 cases of temporary exclusion of any length of time, with just one pupil being expelled, as previously revealed by The Scotsman. The figures compare to 39,553 temporary exclusions and 164 permanent in 2007, when the SNP came to power.
So, with 10 times the population, all things being equally progressive and hopefully not too nasty and socially divisive, England’s schools might be expected to have around 120 000 suspensions and only 10 expulsions or permanent exclusions.
However, based of figures from GOV.UK, in England, there were 511 270 suspensions, more than 4 times as many pro rata, and 6 143 permanent exclusions, more than 600 times as many pro rata.
Who needs to hear this?

Talking-up Scotland / Scottish media fact checking is like shooting fish in a barrel 
Teacher unions are ‘pure bealin’ about the decrease in exclusions in Scotland. 200% of teachers are assaulted everyday. ‘Enuff is Enuff,’ said the Chair of the NASUWT’s literacy committee, ‘ Too many cannae spell’.

The Tories cut Education funding £6Billion year from 2015. £48Billion. Additional needs pupils not getting the support they need. ADHD, autism and Dyslexia etc. 1 in 20 people+ on the spectrum. Not give the support they need by unionists. To achieve their full potential. Everything in the world ever invented by those on the spectrum. An investment in a higher functioning society.
Scottish invention and investment in Education shaped the modern world. The first country to have tertiary education. 14 years old. TV, Radio, tele communications. Led into the internet. Changed the world. The Declaration of Arbroath the foundation of many democratic systems and institutions. Equality and fraternity. A 40million disaporia. Scotland shaped the modern world. Scotland is denied Democracy or democratic right. The right to self government and self determination as under the UN principles. A corrupt administration at Westminster.
in a few months Penny will be gone. Mordaunt, the warmonger, that support Trident and nuclear costing £Billions. Billions that could have been spent on Education, Healthcare and welfare. Improving people’s lives, instead of wasted.
