Education Recovery
Report by
Joint Secretary (Teachers’ Side)
Background
SQA recently announced a return to full National Qualifications assessment
requirements in 2023/24.  The SSTA has conducted a survey of teachers
delivering National Qualifications.  The survey found that 68% of the 2000+
respondents do not agree that pupils are ready for a full return to National
Qualifications assessment measures.
These survey results indicate the strength of feeling against a return to pre-
covid assessment requirements.  They also demonstrate the disconnect
between decision makers’ views of current arrangements and those of
teachers delivering National Qualifications.
Action
JNC members to note results of this survey.  The management side to
reinforce this view at national meetings involving organisations such as
Scottish Government, SQA and Education Scotland.
