Building Our Future: Scotland's School Estate

Building Our Future: Scotland's School Estate - "Education is a key priority for the Scottish Executive. The National Priorities in Education were designed to ensure that every young person has the chance to meet their full potential and that the gap for those not sharing the general level of attainment and well-being is closed. Local authorities - who, through COSLA, have jointly developed this strategy with the Scottish Executive, parents, teachers and others with an interest in education - share the view that every young person should have the best possible start in life. The school environment is central to this. We want to create schools which support learning and teaching, and which are an integral part of the community - both for today and for coming decades. We need to develop a school estate with a built-in capacity for flexibility so that we can respond effectively to the challenges of tomorrow."
