But be in no doubt, this is a shambles and an honourable man would have offered his resignation.”Carlaw added: “U-turn on the education bill.

The motion was passed unanimously.The SQA will issue fresh certificates to those affected as soon as possible.Swinney added: “And, importantly, will inform Ucas and other admission bodies of the new grades as soon as practical in the coming days to allow for applications to college and university to be progressed.”The education secretary added that provision would be made to allow for the necessary university and college places in Scotland, so those whose grades have been changed will not be “crowded out”.Last Tuesday, around 138,000 school pupils received the results of their National, Higher and Advanced Higher courses after an exam-free year due to the coronavirus pandemic.The SQA downgraded 124,564 results – 93.1% of all the moderated grades – based on criteria including schools’ historic performances.Pupils from the most deprived areas of Scotland had their grades reduced by 15.2% compared with 6.9% in the most affluent parts of the country.In response, opposition politicians branded the moderation process a On Friday, hundreds of pupils took to Glasgow’s George Square to protest the methodology – which was only revealed on results day.Scottish Labour also tabled a vote of no confidence in Swinney, backed by the Scottish Conservatives.Initially, Swinney and Nicola Sturgeon defended the system, branding it “credible”.Swinney said without the moderation, the pass rates compared to 2019 would have been “an annual change never been seen in Scottish exam results”.The First Minister claimed had the moderation process not been in place, she would have been announcing that 85% of young people in the most deprived areas had passed Highers this year compared to around 65% last year.Instead, around 70% of young people from the most deprived areas passed their Highers.Both Sturgeon and Swinney stressed the appeals process would allow eligible pupils to challenge their results if they were downgraded from teachers’ estimates.However, both the First Minister and her deputy later backtracked.On Sunday, Swinney said he had “heard the anger of students” and said each of them deserved a grade that reflected the work they had done.He stated: “These are unprecedented times and as we have said throughout this pandemic, we will not get everything right first time.”The following day, Sturgeon apologised and said too much focus was given to the system rather than the individuals.She said: “Despite our best intentions, I do acknowledge we did not get this right and I’m sorry for that.“The most immediate challenge is to resolve the grades awarded to pupils this year.
