EXAMS got underway today for hundreds of young people across Dumfries and Galloway sitting their National 5, Higher and Advanced Highers.
The exam period runs for six weeks and concludes on Thursday June 1, with results out on August 8.
Fiona Robertson, SQA chief executive, and Scotland’s chief examining officer, said: “I would like to wish the thousands of young people throughout Scotland who are about to sit exams or complete their assessments the very best in the coming weeks. This is their opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned and what they can do, to progress to their next steps in education, training, or employment.
“I also express my appreciation for the dedication and professionalism of teachers and lecturers across the country, who have continued to support and guide thousands of learners, helping them reach their full potential.
“We couldn’t do what we do without the support of thousands of appointees, including thousands of practitioners, who collaborate with us throughout the year to ensure the exams and assessments are set, invigilated, marked, and quality assured. They bring a wealth of expertise from the classroom and play a crucial role in ensuring that learners’ hard work is recognised.”
