The Scottish Government has confirmed that Learning and Teaching Scotland (LTS) will continue to play a key role in transforming education in Scotland.
This follows an announcement by the Scottish Government in January 2008 as part of its Public Service Reform that public bodies, including LTS, were to be reviewed to create a clearer, simpler and more effective public sector. A fundamental strategic review of LTS has been conducted over the past 20 months, involving consultation with over 40 public service organisations concerned with education.
The Government has set out a core remit for LTS, which builds on the organisation’s strong track record in delivering significant education reform, including its key role in Curriculum for Excellence and the implementation of Glow in all 32 local authorities.
LTS will also have a number of generic core responsibilities which will ensure that the organisation’s work contributes towards delivering the Scottish Government’s strategic objectives.
