Scottish students high pass rates
Around 160,000 students in Scotland a have helped set a new record pass rate for Higher examinations. The SQA (Scottish Qualifications Authority) announced that the pass rate is up from 74.2 % from last year to 74.6 %.
What is even more surprising is that about 35,000 of the students received their exam results by email or text, a day early. The students received the texts and email after opting to be part of a high-tech early bird mySQA system introduced by the SQA.
The EIS ( Educational Institute of Scotland) has suggested that these figures help show the “stability” of the exam system, rejecting claims of falling standards.
A National Exam Results helpline, 0808 100 8000, has been set up to offer advice on university and college places.
