A lack of clarity from the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) about exam replacements and the appeals process is “distressing and disheartening for young people”, Holyrood’s Education Committee has been told by pupils.
Young advisers to Scotland’s Children’s Commissioner have also warned about the “hellish” prospect of returning to schools for a term of near-constant testing because of lockdown and exam cancellations.
The secondary school pupils, who advise the Children and Young People’s Commissioner, Bruce Adamson, criticised the exam board’s lack of communication and the uncertainty pupils face when they return to schools.
