First Minister Nicola Sturgeon made it one of her key aims to reduce the gap between the most and least well off pupils across the country.
New figures released today show Scotland's poverty-related education attainment gap remains well above pre-coronavirus pandemic levels.
For reading, the gap has widened from 11.5 per cent to 14.2 per cent between 2018-19 and 2021-22, from 12.2 per cent to 15.1 per cent in writing, from 10 per cent to 12.7 per cent in listening and talks, 13.8 per cent to 16.3 per cent in literacy and 13.5 per cent to 15 per cent in numeracy. On average, the gap went from 12.2 per cent to 14.7 per cent for S3 pupils achieving the third level in these metrics.
"Today we have those statistics and the outcome is clear. The attainment gap remains higher than before the pandemic for literacy and numeracy in primary school children, and the gap in numeracy is even wider than in 2016/17. The FM told the SNP's conference in 2015 that she would put her "own neck on the line" over the attainment gap.
