Question
To ask the Scottish Government how many working groups it has established since October 2023, and, further to the answer to question S6W-21835 by Jenny Gilruth on 25 October 2023, whether all of the working groups listed in that answer are still active.
Answer
Further to question S6W-21835, I can confirm that no further working groups have been established since October 2023 within the Education and Skills portfolio.
I can confirm that all of the working groups listed in that answer are still active. However please note, one additional group was missed in the original PQ response. Therefore the current active working groups are as follows:
Working Group | Is the group still active? |
National Response to Improving Mathematics in Scotland Short Life Working Group | Yes, but it is now called the National Response to Improving Maths Partnership Board. |
National Response to Improving Literacy in Scotland Short Life Working Group | Yes, but it is now called the National Response to Improving Literacy Partnership Board which is co-chaired by Education Scotland, Scottish Government Directorate for Education Reform and ADES.
