Building on the work of EYC to achieve improved outcomes in
education attainment

“Scotland should be the best place to go to
school. We want each child to enjoy an
education that encourages them to be the
most successful they can be and provides
them with a full passport to future
opportunity”
Our Shared AmbitionTo raise attainment: consistently over an agreed period, promoting greater depth and breadth of attainment and achievement and improving the educational outcomes of all our children and young people
To progressively reduce inequity in educational outcomes: consistently over an agreed period, to make progress in eroding the deeply embedded correlation found in the majority of Scottish schools between a child’s relative point of social deprivation/affluence and their educational attainment.
To improve the public and parents’ confidence in continuous improvement of Scotland’s education system.
