Education, Children and Young People Committee

Education (Scotland) Bill: Stage 2

Meeting date: 30 April 2025

Douglas Ross

I am grateful to Willie Rennie for his clarification about the change. I am glad to hear that it is not just me who has had an issue鈥攏ot that I was worried about that. Today, my office told me that, for the third time, my meeting with the SQA has been cancelled. If other 成人快手 have had issues meeting the SQA, although that is not great, it is understandable. I think that most 成人快手 would welcome the opportunity to have a face-to-face meeting with the organisation.

Education, Children and Young People Committee

Education (Scotland) Bill: Stage 2

Meeting date: 30 April 2025

Douglas Ross

The wording in the amendments is 鈥淧arliamentary corporation鈥濃攖hat is how the SPCB is described.

On Mr Adam鈥檚 first point about whether this is necessary, the arguments that he is making now鈥攖hat there has been a change in the culture and leadership of the SQA, and that things will get better or that they are already good enough for change not to be needed鈥攁re the exact same arguments that were put to Ian Thow in 2013, 12 years ago. He was told, 鈥淵ou have an issue, but we think that things are efficient and effective.鈥 Then there were the issues with higher history, and there were also issues with national 5 history this year, which might have elicited a complaint to be investigated if we had had the proposed independent regulator in place.

I accept and understand George Adam鈥檚 points. However, those points were also made some time ago. If the issues had been acted on then, there might have been an independent regulator in place that would have independently examined the higher history exam situation that happened last year.
