Education Scotland is committed to supporting educators and learners. We provide targeted support to schools with the greatest need as part of the Scottish Government’s refreshed The Scottish Attainment Challenge programme, and we work directly with local authorities to provide bespoke support.

We are working closely with stakeholders to implement the curriculum recommendations of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and are helping to develop curriculum design capacity in each Regional Improvement Collaborative (RIC). We have also committed to carrying out a national thematic inspection focusing on curriculum.

Education Scotland has an important role in supporting the continuing implementation and development of Scotland’s Curriculum to ensure that its aspirations for all learners in Scotland are met and that it enables Scotland’s learners to gain the knowledge, skills and attributes needed for life in the 21st century.
