The Act is directed at raising standards in Scotland's schools. It will do this primarily by establishing new duties and rights in respect of education and a new framework for improvement. Other provisions in the Act support this general focus on improvement and raising standards. The other main areas dealt with in the Act are: the abolition of self-governing schools; school boards; pre-school education; reform of the General Teaching Council; and abolition of the Scottish Joint Negotiating Committee. These explanatory notes are intended to be read in conjunction with the Act.
