Excessive screentime in early age associated with delayed cognitive development, both directly and indirectly through what it crowds out: play, talk, & exploration. But limited use seems fine.
As conversations in government about regulating screen time for children increase, it's essential to be aware of the best evidence on its consequences.

Tricky to understand the situation with exam results in Scotland, given there have been different approaches to marking in each year since 2019.
However what we can say for sure is that the attainment gap at Higher was 17.2 percentage points in 2024.
