Informed Scotland – March issue published

.

March was a pretty ‘serious’ month for learning and skills developments. It was populated with Commissions, Bills, Standards, statistics and consultations. There were launches, announcements, rebrandings and findings, plus more mergers, partnerships and collaborations.

Although there were funding concerns, there were also major funding announcements – for innovation, research, new products and services, advice and support, new institutions, collaboration and network development.

Major reports summarised in this issue include the UK Commission for Employment & Skills’ Scaling the Youth Employment Challenge; Skills Development Scotland’s Modern Apprenticeship 2012 Survey of Employers; The Prince’s Trust’s Digital Literacy Survey 2013; Lloyds Banking Group’s Oil & Gas: Rising Fortunes 2; and the Commission on School Reform’s By diverse means: Improving Scottish education.
