Question
To ask the Scottish Government how much each local authority received of the £7 million that was committed for the provision of free music tuition in schools in the 2021-22 academic year.
Answer
In the 2021 academic year we provided a share of £5 million to local authorities based on the number of pupils 5-18 on the school roll in each area. In addition, an allocation of top-up funding of around £3m was provided to those authorities who had budgeted for instrumental music tuition fee income.
The following table provides a breakdown of the funding allocation for the provision of free instrumental music tuition in schools by local authority.
