Pupils across Scotland will receive confirmation of their Higher and National 5 grades.
Pupils across Scotland are due to receive confirmation of their grades for their National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher qualifications.
This all happened before the end of June so the results won't be new to the young people. So what should we look out for when the statistics are released?Last year's results were originally put through an algorithm which meant 125,000 pupils had their results downgraded. It's interesting to note, however, that despite pupils eventually getting their teacher estimates as grades and not those moderated to take into account a schools' past performance, the gap between those from the most and least deprived backgrounds got wider, not smaller.
We could end up in a scenario where, on the whole, everyone does better, which is good for the individual but won't close the gap any further.This year, for the first time, pupils can appeal directly with the SQA if they are unhappy with their grade, instead of involving their school. They can appeal for three reasons: against an academic judgement, because of an administrative error or on the grounds of discrimination.
Both of these decisions were criticised by the Children and Young People's Commissioner and the Scottish Youth Parliament.Each year, the Scottish government pays Scottish universities for Scottish students to go there. Usually it puts a cap on the number of places. Last year and this year, the government has increased the cap by about 2,500 places to more than 38,000 places.
