Question
To ask the Scottish Government, in light of the COVID-19 crisis, what learning and school resources will be available for children and young school pupils during summer 2020.
Answer
All local authorities have put in place Hub provisions for young people who are vulnerable and/or children of key workers and these will remain open over the summer period.
In addition, Education Scotland will publish, on 2 July, a summer edition of Scotland Learns. This will provide parents with access to open-ended activities to use over the summer break.
At the end of July, a ‘back to school’ edition of Scotland Learns will focus on children and young people returning to school. This will centre around learning activities to support wellbeing, for example, friendships, new routines and keeping safe.
