SCOTLAND's poverty-related attainment gap in schools has had the biggest decrease since records began but still remains above pre-pandemic levels, figures show.
Reducing the gap between the most and least well off pupils is a key education mission for the Scottish Government, yet the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic is still having an effect according to a new report.
While the gap between the proportion of primary school pupils has narrowed overall by 3.4 percentage points in literacy and 3.7 percentage points in numeracy, in one age group the attainment gap has widened.
