Glasgow, Scotland, schools to address basic literacy, numeracy

In Glasgow, Scotland, schools are to adopt a zero tolerance approach towards pupils who fail to attain appropriate levels of literacy and numeracy. Disaffected youngsters creating problems may be sent away for a few weeks to new intensive support centers to help them get back on track. Headteachers could also be sent back to the classroom to improve their skills. Every teacher and member of support staff in every school will be expected to take responsibility for developing basic reading, writing and numerical skills of every young person.
