Calls for Moray Council to declare an “education emergency” have again been voiced by councillors after the area produced the worst exam results in Scotland. “The pupils of Moray deserve the best opportunities and I call upon the council leadership to address the situation immediately and, as a first step, to declare an education emergency.” “Declaring an education emergency is an essential step in turning around the situation. The change required will take some time but we must start now after refusing to declare an education emergency last year. Moray Council explained it’s “reviewing” the current improvement plans in place and the “impact” they have on exam results to identify opportunities to expand on that work.
