Launch of IntoUniversity at the Maryhill Hub

That this House congratulates the University of Glasgow, along with joint partners, the University of Edinburgh and education charity IntoUniversity, on the launch of the new IntoUniversity centre in Maryhill as part of their commitment to widening access to education; understands that it will be based at the Maryhill Community Hub in the Wyndford estate and is the third Scottish centre to be opened in the last year, building on the success of the first two centres which launched in Govan and Craigmillar; commends the goals of this collaboration which aims to connect young people, aged seven to 18, who may never have thought going to university was possible, with two of the world’s leading Higher Education institutions, providing opportunities to support their learning and nurture their ambitions; further understands that by working closely with local schools and other partners including Glasgow City Council, the centre will provide ground-breaking support to young people, including after-school academic support, mentoring with university students and local professionals, in-school aspiration-raising workshops and enrichment and work experience opportunities; and looks forward to the centre’s contribution to the Widening Participation agenda.
