Recommendation 24

The Committee welcomes Screen Scotland and the Scottish Government’s support for film and screen learning in schools. We also agree with the Green Paper’s suggestion of considering options to enhance the BBC’s obligations in terms of taking a leading role in skills development for the sector; and we invite BBC Scotland to reflect on the ad hoc nature of its contact with many universities in Scotland and to consider how taking on a leadership role could enable it to adopt a more consistent and outcomes-based approach.
