Curriculum for Excellence

What is Curriculum for Excellence?

Curriculum for Excellence will provide a framework for change which aims to improve the learning, attainment and achievement of all young people in Scotland. It is not just about examinations but is also about preparing children and young people aged 3-18 with the skills for learning, work and life
