Testing put to one side, less than a half of 13 and 14 year olds can write well and the proportion who are functionally illiterate has doubled according to the new figures.
It was debated on the Daily politics today, also in the Telegraph in an article by the Scottish political editor.
As to uni, the amount of people who are illiterate entering uni has risen as well, not just in Scotland.
