How it is promoting Scottish literature in schools during the Year of Homecoming.

This Government is committed to promoting Scottish culture and heritage in schools. Curriculum for Excellence explicitly promotes the value of the culture, languages and literature of Scotland and encourages teachers to introduce Scottish literature into teaching and learning.
The Year of Homecoming offers an ideal opportunity to promote Scottish literature in schools and is supported by Learning and Teaching Scotland through the provision of resources and space for schools to share practice. The opportunities Curriculum for Excellence offers in raising awareness of the legacy and vibrancy of Scottish literature will develop beyond 2009, enabling our young people to better develop their understanding and knowledge of Scotland and its place in the world.
