RECORD number of Scottish school-leavers are going to university, college, training or a job, new figures are expected to show.
Official statistics published today by the Scottish Government will indicate nearly 90% of pupils leaving school went into a "positive destination" in 2011/12, compared to 89% the previous year.
The statistics also include the highest ever proportion of pupils going into higher education, either at university or college, with 37.3% in 2011/12 compared to 35.8% in 2010/11.
