How has that information been disseminated to the profession? Since it was announced that you and Ms Robertson were going to be appearing before the committee today, history teachers have said that they had no knowledge of it. There are some concerns that that has not been disseminated as widely as it could have been.

We will come on to that in a moment. You still have not—

I am sorry, but I am asking a very simple question. Why was there a gap between you getting the results—and knowing that, on one of the papers, the marks allocated had dropped by 26 per cent—and 11 September, when you launched a review that lasted two months? Can you answer that? If not, we will move on to other members’ questions.

Wow. Okay.

I am keen to come on to that. Ms Hicks, do you want to add anything?

I know, yes.

I thank all the witnesses on today’s first panel. It has been a helpful session, and I thank you for your time and answers.

I suspend the meeting for 10 to 15 minutes, for a break and a changeover of witnesses.

But one figure is going up and one is going down, so the trend—

Welcome back. The next item of business is evidence on the Scottish Qualifications Authority’s “Higher History Review 2024”. I welcome Jenny Gilruth, the Cabinet Secretary for Education and Skills, and Clare Hicks, the director for education reform at the Scottish Government. Fiona Robertson, chief executive; and Martyn Ware, director of policy, analysis and standards, join us from the Scottish Qualifications Authority.

You have been called to the committee to answer a number of questions. The cabinet secretary and Ms Robertson have both asked to make opening statements. If you are happy to forgo them, that will allow us to proceed straight to members’ questions. If not, I will be extremely strict on the time limits.

I just said that to make it clear.
