Today, SQA is launching two consultations to gather feedback on modifications to qualifications and adjustments to the 2021 exam timetable.

Please note closing date is 24th August.

John Swinney MSP, Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Education and Skills said, “Coronavirus has had, and will likely continue to have, an impact on learning, teaching and assessment over the coming year. I am aware that many teachers will be keen to understand fully the arrangements for the assessment of national qualifications in 2021. The Education Recovery Group has discussed a number of options in relation to this, and I welcome this consultation exercise by the SQA examining options for possible course modifications that could help to support the delivery of learning, whilst maintaining the validity, credibility and standard of qualifications.”
