REFORMING Scotland’s education system must be a post-Covid priority for new Education Secretary Shirley-Anne Somerville, teachers’ union NASUWT said today.
The union said that the founding principles of Scotland’s curriculum have been lost through an overemphasis on assessment and bureaucracy.
It fears that teachers are being disempowered by high workloads and aren’t being allowed the flexibility to meet the needs of all pupils.
