Traditionally, the Scottish system at secondary school level has emphasised breadth across a range of subjects, while the English, Welsh and Northern Irish systems have emphasised greater depth of education over a smaller range of subjects.
State schools are owned and operated by the local authorities which act as Education Authorities, and the compulsory phase is divided into primary school and secondary school (often called high school). Schools are supported in delivering learning and teaching by Education Scotland (formerly Learning and Teaching Scotland). There are also private schools across the country, although the distribution is uneven with such schools in 22 of the 32 Local Authority areas. At September 2011 the total pupil population in Scotland was 702,104, of which 31,425 pupils, or 4.5%, were being educated in independent schools.[4] School years[edit] Children start primary school aged between 4½ and 5½ depending on when the child's birthday falls.

A new approach to rehabilitation Rehabilitation Rehabilitation interventions are designed to make positive impacts on individuals and carers, enabling them to live their lives to their fullest potential. Rehabilitation is a concept that has broad applicability across health and social care professions and agencies. It can be defined in different ways within different contexts and means different things for different client groups.
There is no universally accepted definition or theoretical model to describe rehabilitation. A process aiming to restore personal autonomy to those aspects of daily life considered most relevant by patients or service users, and their family carers.16 This definition reflects the fact that the needs of individuals and carers are at the heart of rehabilitation.
