Scotland: SFUW holds a Seminar on Numeracy and Women (Open)
Scotland: SFUW holds a Seminar on Numeracy and Women at the Scottish Parliament 19 September 2010
In September 2010, the Scottish Federation of University Women (SFUW) held a Seminar entitled “Literacy and Numeracy in Scotland” at the Scottish Parliament. The event was hosted by a Member of the Scottish Parliament who is also her political party’s spokesperson for Education. Three speakers from the Scottish Book Trust, Learning and Teaching Scotland and the Literacy Commission addressed the subject from different approaches before members of the Federation entered into a lively discussion. SFUW plans to make representation to the relevant Ministers in both the Scottish and U.K Governments. The latter will also take account of the GWI Resolution on Financial Literacy which was passed at the IFUW Conference in Mexico City.
