A new vision and strategy for education was launched today by Argyll and Bute Council.
Titled Our Children, Their Future, it meets the requirements of the National Improvement Framework (NIF).
It sets out six objectives and priority actions:
- Raise educational attainment and achievement for all
- Use performance information to secure improvement for children and young people
- Ensure children have the best start in life and are ready to succeed
- Equip young people to secure and sustain positive destinations and achieve success in life
- Strengthen high quality partnership working and community engagement
- Strengthen leadership at all levels
At the official launch at Tarbert Academy, policy lead for education and lifelong learning Rory Colville said: “This is a very important day for education services in Argyll and Bute.
“The Scottish education system is going through a period of significant change and the expectations of staff working with young people has never been greater. “We have taken these important national building blocks and brought them together to produce a set of policies for our children that deliver an equality of educational opportunity and improve attainment for all.
