The Scottish Attainment Challenge (SAC) was established to promote equity in education by ensuring every child has the same opportunity to succeed, with a focus on closing the poverty-related attainment gap. It is underpinned by the National Improvement Framework, Curriculum for Excellence and Getting it Right for Every Child. It focuses on improvement in literacy, numeracy and health and wellbeing. Reducing educational inequity and closing the poverty-related attainment gap is a long-term strategy which aims to impact on societal culture and thinking. On the 23 November 2021 the Cabinet Secretary announced the expanded mission statement of the refreshed SAC: To use education to improve outcomes for children and young people impacted by poverty with a focus on tackling the poverty related attainment gap. This report provides an overview of progress during 2021-22 and the impact of next steps as outlined in the 'Closing the poverty-related attainment gap: progress report 2016-2021'. Leadership is recognised as a key driver of the success of any school or early learning and childcare setting. The report also takes a closer look at Leadership-Governance and Management in relation to the SAC. Also reflected in this report is summarised findings of each local authority's next steps in raising attainment and reducing educational inequity for all of Scotland's children and young people. This report is intended to give a helpful overview of what is happening across Scotland. It is only one part of the suite of reporting and evaluation taking place across the Scottish Attainment Challenge.
