To ask the Scottish Executive whether the draft single outcome agreement from East Ayrshire Council specifies how many P1 to P3 classes in Carrick, Cumnock and Doon Valley will be reduced to 18 in each of the next three years and, if so, what the details are in the agreement.

All 32 local authorities in Scotland have submitted draft single outcome agreements (SOAs) that set out how they will contribute to the agreed national outcomes in relation to education provision. Those drafts are currently the subject of discussion. We aim to complete the process of finalising all the agreements for 2008-09 by 30 June.
