Katherine Sangster: “Too many kids and families are being let down by an education system that doesn’t work for them.”

Young people are being failed and the Promise made to them is being broken.

These figures are deeply shocking. Far from keeping The Promise, progress for looked after children and young people is actually going in the backwards.

Scotland’s education system was one the envy of the world – but under the SNP, it has been allowed to decline.

SNP ministers refuse to take responsibility for tackling persistent absences among pupils.
