Our partners
Learning and Teaching Scotland operates as part of the Scottish educational and learning community and in relation to the wider political, social, economic and cultural context.
In fulfilling its remit, LTS seeks to work in a consultative, collaborative and creative manner with a wide range of organisations in the public, private and voluntary sectors within Scotland and beyond.
We have valuable and productive relationships with schools and local authorities, and work in close partnership with the Scottish Government, HM Inspectors of Education (HMIE), the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA), Association of Directors of Education (ADES), the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (COSLA) and the Financial Services Authority (FSA).
We also share our headquarters with the SQA.
