Curriculum for Excellence

Management Board discussion papers

The Curriculum for Excellence Management Board have agreed that a number of papers coming before them should be made available to practitioners as 'Management Board discussion papers'.  These papers will provide detailed information on current thinking on policy and implementation.

The papers are intended to provide stimulus to practitioners and planners in different parts of the system to move forward their thinking and discussion on the implementation of Curriculum for Excellence in their local context.
