The Education (Scotland) Act 1980, as amended, provides the legal basis to allow students below the statutory school leaving age to participate in work experience towards the end of their compulsory education. Work experience remains an established feature of the education system and its profile has risen with the growing focus on enterprising education and skills development.
More recently, curricular reform driven by Curriculum for Excellence (CfE), has recognised the important role for schools in preparing children and young people for adult life, including employment.

Many in the United States are more advanced at seeing through the global agenda for education.
Charlotte Iserbyt was interviewed on Caravan to Midnight where she discusses the grab for data in schools, the dumbing down of children, the Soviet styled education for workforce training programme and points to some of the historical documents that expose the education agenda for what it is. The interview begins at 25.40.
From Charlotte Iserbyt`s website:
There’s been a shift in education. The goal has changed from ‘gaining knowledge’ to ‘getting a job’. That goal has caused the deliberate dumb-down; the steady deterioration of every academic subject taught in school. Thus, students (human resources) are being trained to be career ready.
Remember the adage, "knowledge is power?" It’s often misquoted as "information is power". Either way, your private information (or knowledge about you) in the hands of the elite empowers them to control you. And they plan to do just that...
And, so it has been, as schools have replaced subject matter (knowledge) with emphasizing the adjustment of attitudes to make good worker drones, society has blindly accepted the new goals. Through School-to-Work or College and Career Ready, the terms mean the same thing, the children are being prepared to go to work with no more knowledge than it takes to do the job they’ll be assigned. ..
This is what I think the results will be. The school will get money to do nothing more than perhaps fill out some paper work. The business will receive tax credit to train their own workers. These "favored "businesses get the opportunity to hire the best and certify (or fail) the rest. Perhaps they won’t need to really hire anyone (just propose to hire) - because next year another round of new trainees will be available. The certificate may or may not be worth the paper it’s written on. And, the students? The jobs they are trained to do may or may not be available. They may get a job; maybe not. High wage? Not likely.
