A new package of £45 million is to be rolled out to schools across Scotland, in fresh efforts to meet the remote learning challenges of lockdown.
The aim of the new funding, unveiled by Scottish education secretary John Swinney, is to help local authorities provide support to schools and families in the form of additional staff, or digital learning tools. This comes on top of £160m already committed for education recovery since the start of the pandemic, bringing the total additional support provided to more than £200 million since the start of the pandemic.
