Narrative

The purpose for this strategic group, chaired by Michael Russell MSP then Cabinet Secretary for Education and Lifelong Learning alongside the Early Years Collaborative and Curriculum for Excellence the other education initiatives, was to make Scotland not only the best place in the world to grow up in but also the best place to learn. The Scottish Government wanted to ensure they were fit for purpose in a changing educational and economic world.
