The Scottish Parliament's Education Committee has unanimously agreed toamendments to the Scottish Schools (Parental Involvement) Bill supportedby Children in Scotland.
Children in Scotland welcomed the Bill's aim of encouraging parents tobe actively involved in their own child's education as well as thefunctions of the school, but argued that it could be extended to includepre-school nurseries.
Children in Scotland's recommendations have now been partially accepted,and the Bill as amended puts a duty on Scottish ministers to promote theinvolvement of parents of pupils in attendance in publicly-fundednurseries.
