I am repeating this presentation to a parallel class later today, Thursday 8 September 2016.
After my presentation, the pupils asked me a number of probing questions including:
- Why I had not claimed any expenses in 2015/16
- Why the 33 period week was approved because they did not appreciate the later lunch breaks on Monday to Wednesdays and
- Why I had joined the Labour party?
I finished by encouraging them to engage in local politics because proportionately young adults 18-30 and women are under represented as Councillors.
I enjoyed meeting these well motivated learners and responding to their thoughtful questions. I wish them all the best when they take their N4/5 examinations.
