Education Scotland has a key role to play in Scottish education, supporting innovation and dynamism throughout the education system, providing challenge and making a major contribution to raising standards overall.
Education Scotland brings together the work of Learning and Teaching Scotland, Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Education and some functions currently carried out by Scottish Government.
The Scottish Government fully supports and participates in the Scottish Learning Festival. We are committed to expanding opportunities to ensure that everybody has access to learning opportunities that can help them achieve their full potential.
We believe it is vital that young people are successful learners, confidant individuals, effective contributors and responsible citizens.
Emap organises the BETT Show in London and the Education Show in Birmingham, the UK's largest and most prestigious education events serving the ICT and school resource markets.
AHDS is the union dedicated to Headteachers, Deputes and Principal Teachers in Scotland’s nursery, primary and special schools. We have changed a great deal in recent years – first opening our doors to Deputes and then to Principal Teachers as a recognition of the significant management roles undertaken by these staff.
As all-encompassing teaching unions are dominated by classroom teachers and their interests, AHDS was established (in 1975) to provide promoted post holders with a separate channel for support and advice as well as a distinct voice in local and national policy debates.
SQA is the national accreditation and awarding body in Scotland.
We work in partnership with schools, colleges, universities and industry to raise standards and develop new and exciting qualifications.
SQA is one of 4 partner organisations involved in Curriculum for Excellence. We work with partners on all strands of the development and our principal role is to contribute to work on qualifications and assessment.
Design principles for the new National 4 and National 5 and Literacy and Numeracy qualifications have now been published. These are the blueprint for developing the new qualifications.
To develop the new qualifications, we are engaging widely with stakeholders for example ADES, ASC, EIS, SLS, SCIS, College Principals and Universities Scotland and CfE partner organisations. Our Curriculum Area Review Groups (CARGs) work with us to provide advice and guidance in each curriculum area. The CARGs produce progress reports which are used to inform the work of the Qualifications Design Teams (QDTs) in developing the qualifications.
SQA is also working in partnership with LTS and the Scottish Government on the National Assessment Resource (NAR).
Visit our exhibition stand in the Scottish Education Village to find out the latest developments in our qualifications, assessment and support and CPD.
School Leaders Scotland (formerly HAS) is the only professional association which exclusively represents senior leaders in secondaries having over 80% of Head Teachers and an increasing number of DHTs, Business Managers and Principal Teachers. The service provided includes excellent CPD, outstanding professional/legal support, and an influential impact on Scottish education.
The TES Scotland website updates and enhances the main paper as well as providing free access to thousands of high-quality teaching and learning resources. Local authorities, independent schools and colleges know TES Scotland provides the most effective and popular recruitment advertising for recruiting education professionals.
