Standards in Scotland's Schools, Etc.(Scotland) Act 2000 - Explanatory Notes (Paperback)

The Standards in Scotlands Schools (Scotland) Act 2000 is directed at raising standards in Scotland's schools. It will do this primarily by establishing new duties and rights in respect of education and a new framework for improvement. Other provisions in the Act support this general focus on improvement and raising standards. The other main areas dealt with in the Act are: the abolition of self-governing schools; school boards; pre-school education; reform of the General Teaching Council; and abolition of the Scottish Joint Negotiating Committee. These explanatory notes are intended to be read in conjunction with the Act.
