Scotland’s top educational bodies will be reformed, Education Secretary Shirley-Anne Somerville has announced.
Addressing a debate in Holyrood on Thursday, Ms Somerville said the futures of Education Scotland and the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) will depend on a report due to be published later this month by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
The news comes as the SQA is under fire from opposition politicians and pupils after the announcement of the appeals process for this year’s qualifications system, which was announced this week as a result of the cancellation of exams.
