The review examined every aspect of the awarding process and \u2013 following independent, external scrutiny \u2013 found that learners were assessed and graded fairly.\u00a0<\/strong>There was no change to the standard set in the question paper.<\/p>\n This means that you can have confidence that the grades your child received were fair and valid, and accurately reflected their achievement.<\/p>\n An independent expert from Wales\u2019 largest awarding body, WJEC, endorsed the findings of the review and confirmed that the evidence supported its conclusions.<\/p>\n Fiona Robertson, Chief Executive of SQA and Scotland\u2019s Chief Examining Officer, said: \u201cI know that this has been a period of uncertainty for many learners, and for their parents and carers.<\/p>\n \u201cI also greatly appreciate the patience shown by Scotland\u2019s dedicated teachers and schools across the country.<\/p>\n \u201cThey rightly required \u2013 on behalf of their learners \u2013 the level of reassurance that has now been provided through this rigorous and independently-backed review.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have identified areas for continuous improvement through this process and will make further improvements to strengthen the voice of learners and educators, and parents and carers, as we transition into Qualifications Scotland.\u201d<\/p>\n Visit our website to access a\u00a0summary version<\/a>\u00a0of the review, the\u00a0full review<\/a>,\u00a0information on the awarding process<\/a> and the news release<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A review of Higher History has concluded that the marking standard in 2024 did not change and that the marking and grading processes worked as intended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":92,"featured_media":1192,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38,7,1],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
