The SNP have successfully hidden the OECD report from governmental scrutiny until after the election. What they, however, did not manage to do was silence Audit Scotland from revealing the desperate figures around the attainment gap. The poverty-related attainment gap is wide -36.2 per cent wide, to be precise. The SNP can say they are working on it but, as Willie Rennie pointed out in Holy-rood this week, it will take 35 years to close that attainment gap. That is this generation, the next generation and the generation after that. The SNP are failing those in poverty; they are failing to provide the means with which they can obtain the skills and abilities to get good jobs, improve their lives, their mental health and their futures. This is one of the biggest responsibilities a government has. I hope that you are judged on education, Ms Sturgeon, on 6 May. I really do, as you have failed catastrophically. JANE LAX
