Whether Education Scotland will help embed (a) global citizenship education and (b) sustainable development in schools and, if so, how.

Global citizenship, which includes sustainable development, citizenship and international education, is an important theme across learning within Curriculum for Excellence and is embedded in the experiences and outcomes. As the agency responsible for leading and supporting the implementation of Curriculum for Excellence, Education Scotland will work with local authorities, schools and partners to drive forward implementation providing support as global citizenship is further embedded in learning and teaching practice. This will include professional development opportunities for practitioners; sharing of inspiring practice and innovation through school open days, case studies, and online resources; as well as support for professional networks, learning communities and capacity building.
