SQA update - Thursday 02 April - Arrangements for quality assurance and the certification of National Courses and Awards 2020 – a message to schools and colleges -

@sqanews Unfair that they still have to wait to know their fate till 4th aug as usual. This should be brought forward.

@sqanews How will the appeal system help someone who loses a University place due to an estimated grade?

@sqanews Very disappointing coursework will not be marker. This would've given my child a better grade as has done well in previous coursework. So what happens if the teacher isn't your biggest fan, then they give you a poor grade?? Let's hope not.

@sqanews Any chance you can change 2c to say "additional work" as opposed to "further work"?

@sqanews To #rank kids just #stinks

@sqanews I think this is very fair. Those children who have worked extremely hard throughout the year and put in many many hours of hard work, including working hard for their prelims ( which every child had set well in advance in their school calendar) in will be rewarded appropriately.

@sqanews They cancelled the exams too early. These could have been arranged safely as plenty of space in schools and council staff to invigilate. I appreciate the Scottish Government have a difficult job at the moment but they got this one totally wrong

@sqanews @DunblaneHS What about young people who only need 1 good grade for their conditional offer? They won’t have the opportunity to focus on that and get the grade they need that determines their university career. this is simply letting young people down completely.

@sqanews Just hope my daughter’s teachers remember who she is. Over the years we’ve had wrongly written report cards where teacher has mixed her up with similar named pupils.

@sqanews An absolute disgrace-why are they not also including the prelim results what is the whole point of this if you can’t include these results. Some kids are slow to learn and pick up speed over the year and start getting it together at prelim time and beyond especially first time
