Submission Documents: By Councillor Feargal Dalton:- "The Council welcomes the OECD's review of Scottish education and its report, published in December 2015, which gave much positive praise to Scotland for what is being delivered for our children in schools. It also commends the Curriculum for Excellence, including its holistic approach, the four capacities, professional engagement, trust in teachers' professional judgement and the enthusiasm for learning and teaching. It acknowledges the Scottish Government's determination to achieve both excellence and equity in the education system, supporting work to make the framework of the curriculum for excellence simpler for teachers, parents and carers, reducing bureaucracy. Based on action that the Government is taking through progressing with curriculum for excellence, the new National Improvement Framework and introduction of evaluation and assessment focused on closing the attainment gap, Scottish education has the potential to become a world leader with an excellent and equitable education system in which every young person across the country is able to achieve their full potential regardless of their family circumstances or their background."
