PASCAL members have contributed to the work of Scotland's Futures Forum which is considering the development of Scottish education.  Part of the study was a seminar bringing together contributions from a number of international experts who offered comment on lessons which Scotland might wish to learn from their countries' experience.  Expert contributions were made by PASCAL Associates Ilpo Laitinan, Anders Olsen and Mike Osborne.  PASCAL policy analyst John Tibbitt introduced the seminar.
