I am certain that your opening remarks, for which we are very grateful, will form a thread through some of the themes of the questions that we have lined up for today.

I will start off. You spoke at length about some of the modifications and changes that you have made. The chief examining officer’s report stated that

“The education system has taken steps to ensure the continuity of learning and teachingâ€

and that the SQA has

“developed an assessment and awarding approach that has helped to address disruption to learning, but it has not been a normal year.â€

That reiterates what you have just outlined for us, but what are some of the details? You gave a broad overview of the methodology and approach that you have taken.

Thank you, Fiona. Graeme Dey was looking for a date or a timeframe and he got one, so, if you do not mind, we will move on to questions from Michael Marra.

I think that Robert Quinn also wants to answer the question and say what he thinks on this one.

Graeme Dey has a wee supplementary question on that topic. Witnesses might be able to wrap it into what they want to say and cover everything.
