Education: National Improvement Framework and improvement plan 2024

Conclusion

This year’s National Improvement Framework reaffirms that delivering excellence and equity remains our top priority, and that to do so will require the highest quality of learning and teaching in our schools and early learning and childcare settings. It also builds on our long term commitment to a collaborative approach to improving Scotland’s education system. It recognises that reform is about more than changing structures. Instead it is about systemic, cultural, change - learning from what works and what teachers, schools, and young people tell us they need.

Improving our education system will always be a shared endeavour, with partners including local authorities, early years practitioners, parents/carers, teachers, lecturers and care services all playing a role in improving outcomes for children and young people.

This collaborative approach will help to ensure that Scottish education remains a world class system. One which supports the professions to whom we entrust the care of our children and young people, and which places the needs and voices of those children and young people at its heart.
