What impact the projected education overspend at Scottish Borders Council will have on the implementation of the National Grid for Learning…

The detailed implementation of the National Grid for Learning is the responsibility of individual local authorities, working under a broad framework set out by the Scottish Executive. Scottish Borders Council is considering measures to address the deficit it has identified in its education budget. The Executive expects that the council will do all in its power to continue to provide a high quality of education in local schools and will proceed in a way which has the minimum impact on the education service experienced by pupils.
