Simple terms explainer: 

Councils can provide, in or in connection with any public school or other educational establishment under its management, school education, further education, and other services. This includes offering additional support for pupils who belong to the area of another Scottish education authority or a local authority in England or Wales. This duty ensures flexibility and inclusivity, allowing councils to meet the needs of pupils from outside their own area.
