The Scottish government has welcomed a report which calls for an increase to the number of hours of CPD that STEM teachers are required to complete each year

The report by the independent Science and Engineering Education Advisory Group (SEEAG) considers a wide range of issues around science education and engagement. It identifies research evidence about which methods are effective in improving education and makes 63 recommendations for future action to enhance science teaching in Scotland.
