Published: Oct. 1, 2019, 6:12 a.m.

Have you ever wondered who decides what you learn in school? We have, and thanks to Scotland\u2019s First Minister we were able to find out! After our interview with Nicola Sturgeon in October 2018, she asked her good friend John Swinney to talk to us. Mr Swinney is the Cabinet Secretary for Education and Skills, which basically means that he is responsible for all education in Scotland. In this episode Adam, Abrar and Isabel talk to Mr Swinney about STEM education in Scotland, his love for maths, his ambition to make sure that everyone in Scotland has access to a good education and making Scotland an ACE (adverse childhood experiences) aware nation.\n\nImage: John Swinney, MSP \u2013 Scottish Government (CC BY-NC 2.0)
