The document discusses the Scottish Open Education Declaration, which aims to promote open education in Scotland. It provides background on Open Scotland and an initial summit in 2013. It describes how openness could address strategic priorities around post-16 education, knowledge transfer, and curriculum change. The Declaration aligns with principles of the UNESCO Paris OER Declaration and received a positive response, though some note that without dedicated funding, policy alone may not be effective. It discusses next steps to gather evidence and illustrate how the Declaration is being implemented.
