Scottish education is changing for young people. In August, the new curriculum for children and young people between the ages of three and 18 in Scotland was implemented.
Curriculum for Excellence is being introduced to raise standards of learning and teaching and help improve children's life chances, equipping young people to meet the challenges of the modern world and apply their skills to whatever lies ahead.
So what does this look like in Glasgow's schools and how have they been preparing for these changes?
Hillhead High School is a pioneer of one of Scotland's first Confucius Classrooms - a hub for learning Chinese language and culture.
The school is a base for primary and secondary schools across Glasgow to tap into resources and develop learning of Chinese culture, language, heritage, history, art, food, music and sport.
The Confucius Classroom Hub uses Glow, the innovative digital intranet for Scottish schools, to share resources and link schools using video conferencing. These tools allow the teachers and pupils to develop learning across the city, not just in isolation in their own classroom.
Hillhead pupils have been working with children from other schools to learn about China's culture and hertitage in music and art lessons while China's economy has been part of their business studies classes.
Pupils from the school visited China last year where they were able to immerse themselves in Chinese language and culture - truly taking the classroom out to the real world.
Further Confucius hubs have been opened in East Dunbartonshire (St Ninian's High), West Lothian (Bathgate Academy), Edinburgh (St George's School), Perth and Kinross (Perth High) and for East, North & South Ayrshire (Grange Academy) and Glasgow (Hillhead High).
Curriculum for Excellence was implemented in all Scottish nursery, primary and secondary schools as well as colleges in August 2010. For more information on how this will affect your child speak to your child's school or visit www.parentzonescotland.gov.uk.
