Education Secretary recommends new lesson fact files for parents

Parents are being issued with "fact files" to help them understand changes to the school curriculum.

Education Secretary Michael Russell hopes the move will answer questions now children are back in school.

Mr Russell said: "We're now seeing Curriculum for Excellence become a reality in our secondary schools. Much has been said about Curriculum for Excellence in recent weeks, but I hope the new clearly worded fact files we'll be making widely available will help answer questions we know parents have been asking."

The announcement came at a meeting in Lornshill Academy, Alloa.
