Details

The introduction of Universal Credit and the effects of the economic crisis precipitated
by the Covid-19 pandemic, compounded by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, have all
contributed to a rise in the levels of poverty and child poverty in Scotland and the
wider United Kingdom. The rise in child poverty will have an impact on an increasing
number of children and young people and their effective engagement with school
education. This article presents a series of research findings and insights by leading
researchers from Scottish Universities on key themes in Scottish education that were
highly relevant in the pre-Covid and pre-war era, themes that will continue to be highly
relevant in the forthcoming years. The themes are: Education in Local Child Poverty
Action Reports; Digital Poverty and Education; School Uniform; Challenges for music
education in Scotland and Teacher preparation for educational inclusion.
