Are unelected officials being given too much power in Scotland’s councils? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This article appears as part of the Lessons to Learn newsletter. Although a lot of the headlines around education in Scotland concern national government, when you are an education journalist in this country you also spend a lot of your time dealing with the organisations that actually have legal responsibility for schooling: local authorities. News reporting tends to be built around clear headlines and a core issue, but sometimes – maybe even most times – that means that some aspects of an inve
SNP slammed after admitting that cost of free school bags giveaway 'yet to be agreed' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Scottish Government is facing fresh criticism after it failed to confirm the expected cost of plans to give away free school bags to primary one pupils.

Read excerpt
Earlier this month, the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) released a report into science teaching across the UK. One of the main findings was that Scottish schools say they are understaffed in terms of teaching assistants and unable to provide enough support for pupils with additional support needs (ASN) during science classes. Our education writer spoke to Annette Farrell, Education Programme Policy Manager at the RSC, to learn more about the possible impact of support shortages on science teach
