The Scottish Parliament Information Centre has published a briefing on the Curriculum for Excellence, which provides an overview of the new curriculum, changes to assessment and
qualifications and outlines some of the debate surrounding these
changes.
The Curriculum for Excellence is due to be implemented from August 2010 with new qualifications starting in 2012/13 and 2013/14.
For full details see the Curriculum for Excellence Briefing which is available from the Scottish Parliament website.
