The SNP were defeated in the Scottish Parliament over their dismal record on schools. Parliament called for the SNP to immediately publish the OECD report on the SNP’s failed curriculum reforms.

The report was due to be published this month but the SNP are delaying it until after the election. The Scottish Conservatives have also called for a national school ‘catch up plan’ to prevent a lost generation of pupils.

The SNP are content with an underperforming education system. We want to restore excellence in Scottish schools so that every child has the chance to succeed.
