Scotland exam results 2024: SQA chief apologises for blank results emails as pass rate falls
‘Chaotic and shambolic situation’ at SQA – Scottish Toriespublished at 10:21
This morning has not been plain sailing for the SQA exams body, with some pupils receiving blank emails instead of their results.
Scottish Tory education spokesperson Liam Kerr MSP is laying the blame at the door of the Scottish government as well as the SQA.
He says: “This chaotic and shambolic situation is the
last thing pupils across Scotland needed on results day.
“Receiving a blank email will have only added to pupils’ worries about how they did in their exams.
“Successive SNP education secretaries have dithered and
delayed on reforming the SQA for too long. Even then their plans amount to a
sticking plaster rather than the widespread changes that Scottish education
requires.”
Earlier this morning, Education Secretary Jenny Gilruth told BBC Scotland News she would bring forward legislation to replace the SQA during the next parliamentary session.
The SQA is now saying the issue has been resolved.
