Commenting ahead of the PISA report due to be published tomorrow, which assesses 15-year-olds in reading, maths and science and compares performance in those areas against that of other countries, Scottish Liberal Democrat education spokesperson Willie Rennie MSP said:    

“This is a valuable insight into where Scottish education stands in the world, but the most recent reports have produced some extremely worrying findings.  

“Year after year, the SNP continue to hold back and mismanage our education system. They are presiding over a yawning attainment gap, offering next to no support for teachers and failing to deliver the mental health support, tech and meals that our children need to learn.

“Scottish Liberal Democrats want to ensure that every young person achieves their potential in life. That’s why we would invest in resources for teachers, tackle poor behaviour in class, reform qualifications and the education agencies and cut short-term teaching contracts to make Scottish education the best in the world again.”
