Scottish Government's latest strategy for improving the teaching and learning of science in secondary schools in Scotland.

Nurturing collaborative partnerships between schools, academia and industry, and improving provision of teachers' continuing professionaldevelopment (cpd), are two of the goals of a new Scottish Government blueprint for improving the teaching and learning of science in Scotland's schools. Published in September, the draft strategy is based on the outcomes of Scotland's first School Science Summit meeting held in Dunfermline in May.
