That the Parliament welcomes the announcement from Dollar Academy that it has collaborated with the University of Stirling in order to establish a clear understanding of acceptable qualifications from its new Futures Institute; believes that the school signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the university, enabling both establishments to work on a joint approach to exploring accreditation of new qualifications from the Futures Institute at Dollar Academy (FIDA); acknowledges that the FIDA will enable young people to generate creative responses to sustainable development challenges before progressing to further education; notes that, with this announcement, the University of Stirling has pledged its support in helping Dollar Academy to guarantee that a FIDA qualification is held in similar regard to other school qualifications in terms of further education entry requirements, which will allow pupils to go down an alternative pathway towards college and university from the standard SQA route; further notes the acknowledgement from Ian Munro, rector of Dollar Academy and founder of FIDA, that Dollar Academy is "delighted to have the support of the University of Stirling in ensuring our FIDA qualifications can enable direct entry to higher education", and that "at the same time, the collaboration will provide learners with access to a wider range of resources – including experts at the University – which will further broaden their learning experiences as well as provide valuable insight into different career pathways"; understands that FIDA was launched in May 2021, placing Dollar Academy at the forefront of educational innovation in Scotland, as acknowledged in motion S6M-10126, and that, to date, the course has given 900 young people across the country the opportunity to learn in a different way, which it believes is in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and congratulates both Dollar Academy and the University of Stirling on what it sees as an ambitious and forward-thinking collaboration that, it believes, will empower future generations to realise their full potential, whilst supporting them and their communities.
