On (a) financial education, the following tables set out the range of events and resources supported by Education Scotland (previously Learning Teaching Scotland), highlighting where these have been delivered in partnership where appropriate. Education Scotland has also organised a series of half-day financial education workshops for education practitioners.
On (b) literacy, the Literacy Action Plan was launched in October 2010 to raise standards of literacy for all from the early years to adulthood. Its implementation is overseen by the Standing Literacy Commission. The plan builds on existing good practice and ensures that literacy has a central and continuing focus in education and related government policies. Some of the many actions included in working towards this goal are the Adult Literacies in Scotland Strategic Guidance, the Scottish Government’s Play Talk Read campaign, and work that is funded through Education Scotland and Creative Scotland, including Write at Home and the Knowledge of Language website.
