Question
To ask the Scottish Government how many pupils have not engaged with remote learning and educational support since schools were closed due to the COVID-19 outbreak, broken down by local authority area.
Answer
Responsibility for the provision and monitoring of learning and teaching, including the use of home learning rests with schools and local authorities.
We know from local authorities, that they are working extremely hard with schools and partner organisations to identify and reach children who may struggle to engage in home learning and to provide support which best suits their needs.
