2020 Qualifications: NQ teacher/lecturer support
Latest information on the appeals process in 2020.
11 August 2020
As the Deputy First Minister has outlined in Parliament today, through a Ministerial direction SQA will change the previous approach to certification this year and instead award candidate results based solely on the estimates provided by schools and colleges.

We are considering in more detail, with the Scottish Government, any appeals process which should support this direction and will announce further details very shortly.
