TEACHERS will receive one extra day of training each year to help introduce the new school curriculum.
Education Secretary Fiona Hyslop announced plans to offer the additional training over the next three years to teachers across Scotland.

In addition to the extra year for preparation for the introduction of A Curriculum for Excellence, councils will be allowed to provide an extra day in service specifically devoted to the new system.

Ms Hyslop said: "Curriculum for Excellence provides the opportunity to improve the educational experience of all of Scotland's young people and ensure that our young people are equipped with the skills required for the modern world.

"In addition to the existing and planned provision, an additional day will be provided to teachers.

"This time will afford teachers and schools sustained extra time to ensure they are prepared for the delivery of the new curriculum."
