Are you one of the students whose exam grades were lowered by the SQA?
Or are you a parent who believes that your child was penalised due to how their school performed in the past?
The Rutherglen Reformer wants to hear about how this fiasco has affected you – and, possibly, your future.
With Scotland’s exam diet cancelled for the first time in history due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Scottish Qualifications Authority scrambled to come up with a new system to calculate results.
Teachers were also asked to rank their students, and the results were then fed through a national “moderation” system.
This system, which had been created to address fears that the results would not be “credible”, ultimately saw about 125,000 of those grades lowered.
Are you, or is your child, among those affected, and do you feel you have been wronged by a system that has seen the pass rate of pupils sitting Highers in the most deprived areas reduced by double the rate of those from the most affluent backgrounds?
Are you concerned about the volume of appeals which could be submitted, and how long they could take to process?
