SCES and the CEC work with a range of individual colleagues, partner associations and Church agencies in our joint efforts to promote and support Catholic education in Scotland.
Some of this work involves discussion and consultation with officials from local Councils, the Scottish Executive, many educational organisations and other groups. Other work includes the development of resources and support materials for schools and parishes.
The Church acknowledges the significant contributions made by many individuals who commit their time and expertise to this important work.
We work in partnership with the following groups which are directly involved in education issues within Scotland:
