#Social #equity in #Scottish #schools & #sports? #stateschools must follow @scotgov covid rules so no extra-curricular sport until 2021. #privateschools don't have to follow rules, so students playing E-C sports as usual. #Equality of opportunity? Physical #health? #mentalhealth ?

What can be done @sportscotland @ScotGovFM to remove this #inequality? And does anyone know whether this is also the case in #English #schools?

As well as #health and #welfare, this compounds the stark historic & ongoing inequalities in #elite #sport. Private #school students get more opportunities, state school students miss out across all levels. What can sporting bodies like @ScottishHockey and @ScottishRugbyXV do?

And should these #sports #inequalities be discussed more openly, as yet another example of lacking #socialequity in #Scotland, to help us move towards a fairer world for #Scottish #children? @BBCScotlandNews @TheScotsman @guardian @edinburghpaper

Revisiting this thread on #social #equity in #Scottish #schools, I have made some progress on communicating the vast #inequality in #sports between #privateschools and #stateschools due to @scotgov & @Edinburgh_CC #Covid_19 restrictions
