Welcome to Education Scotland

Education Scotland has been commissioned by the Scottish Government to lead the work of the Curriculum Improvement Cycle (CIC) for Scotland.

Education Scotland works in collaboration with stakeholders, learners, practitioners and communities to help children and learners acquire the four capacities of Curriculum for Excellence.

Education Scotland supports the system to gather, analyse, evaluate and share an agreed set of data, including independent external evaluation.
