Every secondary pupil in East Lothian will return with their own laptops next week, and teachers and school staff are being given support and additional training in preparation. Earlier this year councillors were asked to ‘spare a thought’ for teaching staff as they navigate the digital world. The project team has already been in working with our teachers and there are planned training sessions next session.” Councillor Fiona Dugdale, the council’s cabinet member for education, welcomed the completion of the roll out to secondary students. It will also help them control their own learning much more effectively including in their own time within a safe, online environment.”
