How we run our schools is an unedifying series of mistakes

31 May

Policy Director Ross Martin published a piece in The Scotsman on the future for schools. Ross said:

"Reviews, deals, fudges and poisoned chalices, the history of how we run our schools is an unedifying series of mistakes".

"Our schools need fresh ideas, an energetic impetus. They need to analyse their own performance, compare it with others operating in similar circumstances and develop ways in which to address identified shortcomings".

"They need to strengthen links with communities, reflect the changing nature of their environment and encourage far greater participation from parents and the wider public too".
