A Tory MSP has slammed figures which show a fall in the standards of literacy, reading, writing and listening in schools in Lanarkshire.
Central Scotland MSP, Graham Simpson, believes it is a sign of the "SNP’s continued failures in education".
Mr Simpson’s criticism comes after the publication of the National Improvement Framework report which shows a decline in standards in literacy, reading, writing and listening and talking since a previous report in 2018-19.
