The Scottish Government has published its National Improvement Framework and Improvement Plan: 2020. This sets out the vision and priorities for Scottish education, replacing the NIF and Improvement Plan published last year. Plans to increase the focus on improvement activity in early learning and childcare (ELC) are noted, with reference to the new National Standard and associated requirements around Care Inspectorate evaluations. The importance of outdoor learning within the “ELC offer” is also highlighted.
