The question
To ask the Scottish Executive when it expects every nursery class in every nursery school to have a qualified nursery teacher and what action it intends to take to achieve this objective.
The answer
The commitment to deliver access to a teacher for every pre-school age child is contained within the concordat with COSLA, which covers the period 2008-09 to 2010-11. It is the first commitment which has been made since devolution to ensure pre-school children have access to the benefits teachers bring. COSLA will report annually on progress made by local authorities across Scotland towards delivery of this commitment.
