One of our local schools had sent this out to parents if anyone is interested in joining (its free) -
The Cabinet Secretary for Education and Skills announced on 22 June 2021 the intention to replace the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) and consider a new specialist agency for both curriculum and assessment while also taking forward reform to Education Scotland, including removing the function of inspection from the agency.
Professor Ken Muir, University of West of Scotland, was appointed to act as an independent advisor to the Scottish Government to consider and advise on the implementation of the reform that will consider all functions currently delivered by both SQA and Education Scotland.
Professor Muir wants to hear the views and ideas from all those with an interest in Scottish Education. This webinar is an opportunity, specifically for parents and carers with children and young people in education, to hear first-hand about this reform work, to express their views and ideas about the kind of education system we want to see in Scotland for the future and to ask questions of Professor Muir.
