Parents & Carers

Digital technology can make a significant contribution. Where our educators are supported through professional development, resources and leadership, digital technology can enrich learning and teaching, help to raise levels of attainment and close the attainment gap. The skilful deployment of digital technology in our schools and early learning settings will also ensure our learners develop a level of general and specialist digital skills that are so vital for learning, life and work in an increasingly digitised world. I want to unlock this potential - to the benefit of the individuals, Scottish economy and society as a whole. (John Swinney)
