Figures have been released which confirm that Scotland’s school have made much progress in the last few years.
The figures confirm that Primary One class sizes have fallen. 99% of Primary One pupils are now in smaller classes of 25 or less. The size of Primary Two and Three classes are also smaller.
In addition, under the SNP Government, 358 schools have been rebuilt or refurbished and attainment levels at secondary schools have increased.
Commenting on the figures, Kenny said:
‘These figures indicate that our school system is making real progress.
‘I’m sure that the class size figures will be welcomed by teachers and parents alike.
‘It is also encouraging to see that more pupils are learning in new, quality buildings.
‘Let’s hope that these changes will help the attainment levels rise further.’
