Children and young people in West Dunbartonshire schools are to be monitored by education officers in a bid to close the poverty related attainment gap.
The local authority has outlined its education recovery and improvement strategy for season 2022/23 and hopes to build on the success of the previous academic year by setting new “stretch aims” and targets which will be scrutinised by national agencies.
With West Dunbartonshire receiving less money annually from the Scottish Government’s attainment gap funding, the council will continue to promote the curriculum for excellence programme and the number of pupils achieving a SCQF level five and six by the time they leave school.
