Modern UK Politics
We are working on a new textbook for Higher Modern Studies.
This will be the follow up to our existing, highly successful book Modern UK Politics.
Modern UK Politics 2 will be published shortly after the Scottish parliamentary and council elections of 2011.
With the next UK General election not expected till May 2015, you should have a comprehensive account of UK politics for 4/5 years.

Higher Modern Studies
Modern Studies is one of SQA's most popular National Qualifications.
The subject is taught throughout Scotland and is respected by employers and universities, especially faculties of Law and Humanities.
Modern UK Politics and A Curriculum for Excellence
A Curriculum for Excellence (ACfE) is the Scottish Government's key initiative to improve education in Scotland.
It seeks to improve not just attainment in National Qualifications, but wider skills and capacities in young people for participation in a global society.
These are;
- Developing successful learners
- Developing confident individuals
- Developing responsible citizens
- Developing effective contributors
Her Majesty's Inspectorate for Education (HMIe) has published an important document on what ACfE means for Modern Studies.
Likewise, Learning Teaching Scotland (LTS) has a website dedicated to good practice in developing A Curriculum for Excellence.
Our textbook Modern UK Politics was published in December 2007.
It has been written to prepare students for the Higher Modern Studies exam and contains activities within the book to reinforce learning of the key issues in UK Politics.
But, Modern Studies is for life, not just a one off exam.
