Pupils sitting exams in disguise accuse SQA of shambolic mismanagement

SCOTTISH high school pupils sitting National 5s and Highers have told The Ferret that mismanagement by the SQA has left them facing a “marathon of assessments” at short notice, which they claim are “exams in disguise”. Many pupils, who started sitting exam papers last week, said they felt let down and “unfairly disadvantaged” by the lack of notice given. Deputy First Minister John Swinney cancelled formal exams in December. But the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) led plans for an “alternative assessment model”, announced in March and described at the time by pupils, parents and opposition politicians as “exams by another name”.

The inspiring woman who brought Girl Guides to Glasgow during World War One

Inspired, and not wanting the boys to have all the fun, she started the Cuckoo Patrol with five friends from Laurel Bank School. 2 The girls met regularly in the stable loft above her house and in 1909, they became affiliated to the 1st Glasgow Scout Group. According to Girlguiding Scotland’s website, “the idea of girls being involved in camping, hiking and similar activities received a mixed response. Angry critics denounced ‘girl scouting’ as a ‘mischievous new development’, a ‘foolish and pernicious movement’, an ‘idiotic sport’. “However, the girls won. In 1910, Baden-Powell formed the Girl Guides and his sister Agnes took the helm.
