Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on the development and resource of intersectional data collection and analysis mechanisms to provide baselines for all activities within each goal of the Gender Equality Taskforce in Education and Learning.
Answer
The Gender Equality Taskforce in Education & Learning developed a set of ambitions in order to help inform its work, including focusing on data collection and analysis mechanisms. 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.
