Cash for Holocaust school trips
The Scottish Government has agreed to fund children's educational trips to Auschwitz.
Schools will be able to send pupils to learn about the Nazi death camp following a campaign led by Labour MSP Ken Macintosh.
Education secretary Fiona Hyslop said: "The Scottish Government recognises that Holocaust education offers an important and insightful dimension to the curriculum and that it is important pupils have the chance to learn about what happened in Auschwitz so that the Holocaust is never forgotten."
