Supporting Social Mobility Through Vocational Education

This research by the Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) has revealed a generation gap in thinking around best educational routes for career progression. Over half of younger adults (18-24 year olds) think a university degree will give them the best chance of gaining employment, whereas nearly 60 percent of older adults (55-64 year olds) disagree saying vocational education offers the best route to employment.

Scottish Survey of Literacy and Numeracy

This report by the Scottish government, is an annual sample monitoring national performance of school children at P4, P7 and S2 in literacy and numeracy. It shows that pupils in Scotland are doing less well in maths, according to the latest Scottish government figures. Between 2013 and 2015, the proportion of P4 and S2 students performing "well or very well" fell. Pupils from better off areas recorded better results than those from the most deprived communities.
