Scottish education minister Raymond Robertson drew attention today to the appearance of advertisements for two HM Inspectors of Schools with expertise in pre- school education.
'The advertisements now appearing in the press for two HM Inspectors with expertise in pre-school education will enable the Inspectorate to take a lead role in the quality assurance arrangements which are integral to the government's initiative.'
'From the very beginning of our pre-school initiative, I have emphasised the importance of ensuring that the places made available offer educational experience of good quality. This commitment was given in the consultation paper The Future of Scottish Pre-School Education issued in August 1995; and the responses to the consultation expressed strong support for effective quality assurance and for an enlarged role for HM Inspectors of Schools in this area.
