Question

To ask the Scottish Government whether it has implemented any of the recommendations in its report, Fit for the Future: developing a post-school learning system to fuel economic transformation.

Answered by Dey, Graeme - Minister for Higher and Further Education; and Minister for Veterans

There is significant progress being made to reform and improve key areas of the post-school learning system covered by James Withers’ review Fit for the Future, including on apprenticeships, skills planning and simplification of the funding body landscape. I provided the latest update on progress in a letter to the Education, Children and Young People Committee on 27 March 2024, available at Update to Committee - Post school reform | Scottish Parliament Website .
