Question
To ask the Scottish Government, further to the comment by the Cabinet Secretary for Education and Skills on 26 June 2018 that “if sufficient progress is not made over the next 12 months to deliver the empowerment of schools we have agreed with local authorities, I will return to Parliament and introduce an Education Bill”, whether the Bill will be discarded.
Answer
I will make a statement to the Scottish Parliament later this month, setting out the progress that has been made and outlining the Scottish Government's next steps for ensuring the delivery of Scotland's education reforms.
