You may be interested in what follows (with my emphasis), not least because it is NEVER quoted by the corporate media or the BBC. It will become obvious why this is the case!
Source: OECD (2021), Scotland’s Curriculum for Excellence: Into the Future, Implementing Education Policies, OECD Publishing, Paris
(https://www.oecd.org/education/scotland-s-curriculum-for-excellence-bf624417-en.htm )
‘PISA’s new global competence module aims to capture the capacity of 15-year-olds to examine local, global and intercultural issues, to understand and appreciate the perspectives and world views of others, to engage in open, appropriate and effective interactions with people from different cultures, and to act for collective well-being and sustainable development.’
‘SCOTLAND RANKED AMONG THE TOP-PERFORMING COUNTRIES IN GLOBAL COMPETENCE. ….. Scotland was the fourth top-performing country, behind Singapore, Canada, and Hong Kong (China), …’
From the same OECD report, on ‘equity’: ‘STUDENTS’ SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUS HAS A RELATIVELY SMALL IMPACT ON THEIR PERFORMANCE IN SCOTLAND, COMPARED TO OTHER OECD COUNTRIES AND ECONOMIES. The extent of socio-economic disparities in academic performance indicates whether an EDUCATION SYSTEM HELPS PROMOTE EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITIES.’
And finally the same report gives this endorsement: ‘Scotland’s Curriculum for Excellence (CfE) offers AN INSPIRING AND WIDELY SUPPORTED PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION. Its framework allows for EFFECTIVE CURRICULAR PRACTICES and for THE POSSIBILITY OF A TRULY FULFILLING EDUCATION FOR LEARNERS. Building upon ITS COMMITMENT TO EDUCATION QUALITY, Scotland can make adjustments within CfE’s flexible framework to achieve its potential for learners present and future.’
The practice of gaslighting Scotland in order to damage the present Scottish Government – and by this means reduce momentum in growth of support for independence – means that few in Scotland will be aware of these positive judgements about education in Scotland.
Talking-up Scotland 
Having provided education and learning programmes for schools over many years I can say without fear of contradiction that Scotland’s ‘Curriculum for Excellence’ is indeed, a brilliant education tool.
On the subject, I must say too that, “Storyline”, created by teachers here in Scotland and now used in schools all over the world (but very seldom in Scotland these days), is another very excellent learning tool.
