To ask the Scottish Executive whether the draft single outcome agreements it has received from (a) East Ayrshire and (b) South Ayrshire councils detail how two hours of PE per week will be delivered for every pupil in those areas.
Answer
All 32 local authorities in Scotland have submitted draft single outcome agreements (SOAs) that set out how they will contribute to the agreed national outcomes in relation to education provision. Those drafts are currently the subject of discussion. We aim to complete the process of finalising all the agreements for 2008-09 by 30 June. Subject to agreement with the authorities, all the finalised SOAs will be made publicly available shortly thereafter.

To ask the Scottish Executive when it expects every school in the Carrick, Cumnock and Doon Valley parliamentary constituency to deliver two hours of PE per week to every pupil.
Answer
The Scottish Government has not set a timescale for the provision of two hours good quality PE for each child every week. As part of Curriculum for Excellence, we expect schools to continue to work towards the provision of two hours good quality PE for each child every week. This commitment will be reflected in
Health and Wellbeing: planning for the experiences and outcomes and
Building the Curriculum 3: A framework for learning and teaching.
The concordat with local government means that local authorities and schools will decide the best way of achieving the experiences and outcomes in a way that meets local needs and circumstances.
