National priorities – outcomes, performance measures and quality indicators
The national priorities team are reviewing the outcomes, and associated performance measures and quality indicators as listed below. They have consulted with staff in education authorities, asking for their suggestions on how they can be modified in the light of our experience in using them and with reference to the Curriculum for Excellence. As this edition goes to the printers, we are awaiting the revision from the Scottish Executive Education Department based on the outcome of their consultation.
