Auditor General, Stephen Boyle discusses Additional Support for Learning in Scotland
40 per cent of pupils in Scotland’s state schools receive additional support for their learning.
Since legislation in 2004 to make additional support for learning more inclusive, there's been an eight-fold increase in the number of pupils receiving support.
But a lack of robust data means it's impossible to know whether children's rights to an education that develops their abilities, personalities and talents is being met.
The Scottish Government and councils must now fundamentally evaluate how additional support for learning is being resourced and planned for.
