National Improvement Plan

The National Improvement Framework (NIF) and Improvement Plan sets out the vision and priorities for Scottish education that have been agreed across the system, and the national improvement activity that needs to be undertaken to help deliver those key priorities.

This complements the ongoing implementation of Curriculum for Excellence (CfE), Getting It Right for Every Child (GIRFEC), and Developing the Young Workforce (DYW), which are the three supporting pillars of the Scottish education system.

The local authority uses the NIF to inform a local plan which is updated annually. 

You can now read the Education Service Plan 2023-2026, and the Education Service Standards and Quality Report 2022/23.
