The Q-Step Essay Competition 2017 is now open for S5 students. This year's theme is: ‘Is data good for democracy?’

The competition is hosted by the University of Oxford Q-Step Centre. Its aim is to give your students the opportunity to think about how data is used politically. The winner will receive £100 and the runner-up £50. Both essays will be published on the Q-Step website. Closing date: Friday 24 February 2017. Winners will be announced in the week beginning 20 March. If you are interested in entering please see Ms Brannigan for more information or visit the following website.
