Plans to introduce a new Higher in film-making for school pupils across Scotland will be unveiled by Labour today.

The party said it will give the industry in Scotland a boost as it continues to lag behind rivals such as Northern Ireland despite significant growth in recent years.

Labour culture spokeswoman Claire Baker will detail plans for a new SCQF level 4, level 5 and Higher qualification for film-making in Scotland’s schools in a speech to the party’s conference in Dundee.
