Hide AdDr Allan said: “A survey last year showed that 90 per cent of the public are on board with this approach.
“I am pleased that the Scottish Studies Working Group has suggested a sensible and workable set of recommendations including changes to Higher English exams to ensure that every pupil taking them will study Scottish, as well as other, texts.”
