Mr. Gordon Wilson
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the involvement of the Tayside region in his "Education for the Industrial Society" project.
Mr. McElhone
Tayside regional council and the project planning committee are co-operating on an investigation into the numeracy skills which local employers expect in school leavers. The intention is to analyse the needs of potential employers and match these in school courses. The project planning committee has provided funds for the secondment of a teacher to carry out this work.
