Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on what working groups within the Gender Equality Taskforce in Education and Learning it has formed to take forward the activities for each goal of the Taskforce.
Answer
The Gender Equality Taskforce in Education & Learning developed a set of ambitions in order to help inform its work, including consideration of the optimum way in which to deliver these ambitions, including through the establishment of working groups. Since then, discussion and work has been ongoing to refine the workplan, to ensure that it is able to enact the type of long term, complex, systemic change that is needed. I am committed to continuing and accelerating such work to ensure that girls and young women have a gender equal experience of education and learning.
