This is unacceptable for the fifth richest country in the world, and it has consequences.

Glasgow's Iranian refugees talk of pain, anger and hope Following the violent and lethal crackdown on protests across Iran, some of those who have fled to Scotland speak out about their experiences.

Imagine how it feels to desperately wonder whether your family and friends are safe, or even still alive.

Graphic for #InternationalDayOfEducation titled “Our work on education, with children and young people.” The Children & Young People’s Commissioner Scotland logo appears at the top. On the left are photos including the report “This is our lives, it matters a lot” and a group photo from the Shoogle Lab. On the right, a checklist highlights key work: publishing a report on children’s experiences of school and recommendations for change; Young Advisors gathering views in schools and sharing children’s experiences with inspectors and the United Nations; research exposing barriers faced by care experienced children in education; children with additional support needs sharing what would make learning easier; and Shoogle Lab bringing children and education leaders together to strengthen participation in education.

Education is a human right — and children’s views must be at the heart of how it’s delivered.

This #InternationalDayOfEducation, we’re sharing how we’ve been working alongside children and young people to shape education reform and create a system that works for all.
