Hyslop launches learning scheme

The Scottish Government hopes more young people will remain in learning after the age of 16.

Fiona Hyslop said the new approach would focus on "improving the skills and life opportunities of those who leave school at the earliest opportunity, often with no - or minimal - qualifications".
