Education, Children and Young People Committee [Draft]
Session 6 Priorities
Meeting date: 6 October 2021
Stephen Kerr
As you say, it is not a new phenomenon. I have reports on the issue that go back 20 years. There has been a series of reports about skills gaps. We should not get too caught up in any current issues. It is a structural issue, is it not?

We could have a longer conversation about that, but I want to bring in colleagues. Michael Marra has been jumping up and down in the corner.

Thank you, cabinet secretary. If we can detain you slightly longer, we have a couple of other questions.

I ask Michael Marra to come back in, but to be brief. I ask for brief responses, too. Stephanie Callaghan has been very patient, and we must get to her questions.

I will shortly move on to Kaukab Stewart, the deputy convener. First, how would you describe the role of the SQA in 2021? In effect, teachers’ assessments were taken as read. Some quality assurance work was done, which we will come back to, but what, in functional terms, did the SQA do after the announcements were made last October and December?

I know that colleagues will come in on this issue, so I will move on now. Thank you for your answers so far.

There is no division on that at all—we are united in our support for our young people.
