The Cabinet Secretary has left the Chatroom

Comments: none

On Wednesday 17 September, Glow users from across Scotland had the opportunity to have a live discussion with the Cabinet Secretary on Glow.  See a transcript of the ‘chat’ in SLF Extra. (Glow login required).

Any questions that remained unanswered at the end of the session will be transferred to the discussion forum and answered by the Cabinet Secretary in the near future.

On the discussion forum you still have the opportunity to exchange views, ask questions or share experiences about Scottish education that can be taken up by the Cabinet Secretary during her keynote speech at the Scottish Learning Festival. Technorati Tags:
