Education Written Answer, 04/02/10 [S]
Written Answer given in response to Bill Butler's (Lab) question asking the Scottish Executive how Skills Development Scotland is promoting greater understanding of co-operative business models among young people.
The Minister for Skills and Lifelong Learning, Keith Borwn, replied that the Co-operative Education Trust Scotland (CETS) provides a unique service to schools in Scotland called Co-operate to Succeed (CtS). CtS supports the Determined to Succeed strategy, to bring the attributes of a co-operative approach to enterprise in education. Skills Development Scotland (SDS) do provide some limited education/business services but are not involved in promoting the understanding of co-operative business models.
The Scottish Government provided £60,000 funding for Co-operative Education Trust Scotland (CETS), during its two-year pilot stage (July 2005-2007) to support the work and future development of educational resources under its "Co-operate to Succeed" banner.
