The answer

Answered by Peter Peacock on 8 Nov 2004 · 14 days after it was lodged, on time

There are no specific plans to increase or improve the level of teaching of Scottish history (a) in schools or (b) generally.
On 1 November, I announced a programme of work which aims to create a single, coherent, Scottish curriculum 3-18. The intention is to ensure that young people achieve the broad outcomes we look for from school education, both through subject teaching and more cross-subject activity.
