12. IMPROVING SCOTTISH EDUCATION 2005-2008 published January 2009 Our evidence shows that Scottish education continues to demonstrate the strengths that we highlighted in the period 2002-2005 across all sectors. Since then, further aspects of the system have moved to positions of strength and Scottish education in general is showing steady improvement. At the same time, however, a number of significant problems remain and the need for further and faster improvement has grown.
