Today saw the launch of the Labour Party's national manifesto putting Education, Community Safety and Regeneration of Town Centres at the heart of our promises to the electorate.
- Making Scottish Education 'the best in the world by 2020'
- Make leaving school at 16 and 17 conditional on those people staying in education, training or full-time volunteering.
- Expand free education for three to five-year-olds.
- Expand the Project Scotland youth volunteering scheme and create a programme for older people.
- Give children access to language tuition from Primary three onwards.
- Discipline code to set out rights and responsibilities of teachers, parents and pupils and legislate to give head teachers the authority to exclude pupils.
- Double the number of community wardens to more than 1,000 and expand environmental wardens.
- New police powers to tackle serious and organised crime, gangland criminals and take advantage of new technology.
- Establish town centre trusts, with legal powers to initiate compulsory purchase orders.
