Simple terms explainer: 

Councils must work to improve the quality of education in their schools. This means regularly reviewing how well schools are performing, supporting teachers and staff, and making changes that help pupils learn better. Improvement can include things like updating teaching methods, providing training, using feedback from inspections, and working with parents and communities.
