Cllr Graham MacKenzie: Support
FRAZZLED school staff exhausted by the unprecedented challenges of keeping classrooms running during the Covid-19 crisis now need special support and strong leadership after the cancellation of exams.
That s the view of a senior Ross-shire councillor who was also for many years rector of the county s largest secondary school.
And while Cllr Graham Mackenzie (Dingwall and Seaforth) said he agreed with the cancellation of the exam diet announced this week by education secretary John Swinney, the impact on staff, pupils and parents cannot be ignored.
