Young Leaders of Learning
The YLL programme was developed by Education Scotland to give children and young people an increasing say in their education and their schools. The programme supports the empowered system and also the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (articles 12 and 13).
Purpose of the programme
The purpose of the programme is to help children and young people to be more actively involved in helping to improve their schools by:
Taking part in reciprocal visits to other schools to identify what is working well, areas for improvement and effective practice.
Promoting ways that children and young people can be involved in school improvement activities in their own school.
