Education sessions for schools
We deliver education sessions to thousands of Scottish pupils every year – in the Scottish Parliament, by visiting your school, or online.
Our sessions:
- are designed to develop the principles of democracy and citizenship
- are in line with A Curriculum for Excellence and the Modern Studies Curriculum
- contribute to political literacy aims.
All education sessions and resources are free of charge. The content of these sessions is largely the same, whether you are coming to the Parliament, doing an online session or if we visit your school. We cannot offer financial assistance for travel.

Bookings for 7 January to 4 April 2025 are now open.
A very limited number of afternoon sessions with tickets for parliamentary business from 1.15pm to 2.45pm on Tuesdays and Wednesdays are available in November. (These sessions are not recommended for primary).
We have availability for Visits to schools and Online Education Sessions in November and December.
You can book either of these education options on their own or add a booking for group tours through Visitor Services or book group tickets for business through your MSPs (Find your MSPs).
