Education Priorities
Glasgow City Council aims to maximise the learning potential of all the young people of Glasgow, to provide education and support of the highest quality to all, and to do so in a spirit of partnership and consultation.

 

The key priorities for education include:

  • improving educational standards and raising achievement
  • promoting social inclusion and citizenship for all children and young people
  • encouraging lifelong learning
  • developing core skills and ensuring equality of opportunities and access to education for all 

We aspire to prepare young people effectively for the world of work and setting a positive framework for learning. We hope that this web site will answer all your questions about education and the Health and Welfare of your children attending schools in Glasgow.
