An education strategy designed to tackle inequalities across West Dunbartonshire schools has been approved.

The council’s Educational Services Committee signed off the new Education Improvement Plan, which focuses on wellbeing, classroom attainment, employability and future-ready learning. The programme targets narrowing the poverty-related attainment gap across the region.

Councillor Michelle McGinty, Convener of Educational Services, said: "This improvement plan demonstrates our continued commitment to ensuring all learners have access to high-quality education and the support they need to thrive ."

Progress will be reviewed regularly throughout the school year by the council's Excellence and Equity Board
