Commenting on the Achievement of Curriculum for Excellence Levels Statistics released this morning (Tuesday) COSLA’s Children and Young People Spokesperson Councillor Tony Buchanan said:

"COSLA welcomes the publication of Achievement of Curriculum for Excellence Levels for 2024 which shows improvement in attainment overall and narrowing of the poverty related attainment gap.

“These outcomes are a result of the hard work of children, young people, their families and the professionals within and out with schools who support them.

“This is encouraging, however we recognise that there is still progress to be made. Local Government will continue to work collaboratively with our all our partners to ensure all children and young people achieve the best possible outcomes."
