It does not take a close read to spot a theme threaded through this month’s Education HQ. Our intended focus on early years education evolved into an unintentional spotlight on the diverse social and emotional learning initiatives in Scotland’s nurseries. The popularity of these types of programmes is no real surprise: since the incorporation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) into Scots law last year, there has been renewed focus on children’s rights and children’s voices at all stages of education.
