Most parents fear schools are not preparing pupils for world of work

Most parents do not believe Scottish schools are preparing children for the modern world of work.

That's according to research commissioned by independent school Kelvinside Academy, which found 77% of parents in Scotland do not believe schools are teaching skills relevant to the job market.

A further 65% said schools were more focused on securing university places than the best interests of individual pupils, while 38% said the education system is 'broken' and 69% said they are worried about the 'ageing curriculum'.
