Welcome to the 19th meeting of the Education and Skills Committee in 2019. I remind everyone to turn their mobile phones and other devices to silent for the duration of the meeting.
I refer members to my entry in the register of members’ interests. I am the vice-chair of the Scottish Schools Education Resource Centre and a member of the British Computer Society.
Agenda item 1 is a decision on taking in private a discussion of the evidence that we will hear today. Are members content to take that business in private?
Members indicated agreement.
Can we also agree to take future consideration of evidence for the inquiry in private?
Members indicated agreement.
