Six key principles for manageable change to Scottish qualifications are set out by this secondary school leader

People should see language learning as a life skill – like operating a computer or driving a car, says the director of Scotland’s National Centre for Languages

Provision for additional support needs pupils after they leave school is ‘a national disgrace’ – with just one specialist college available, MSPs have been told

Students will also be able to request a review of their marked exam paper directly, without having to go through their school

One possibility is a return to the old ‘post-results service’ – but it could be free and learners could be given direct access

Counselling and coaching interventions could help to address disadvantaged students’ negative thinking about their career prospects, new research suggests

Scottish government threatening financial sanctions if pupil-teacher ratios worsen, but councils say they can’t fill jobs in certain areas and subjects

Primary pupils benefit from seeing beyond narrow definitions of Stem subjects, says Kirsty Connell-Skinner

A teacher has been given the job of helping pupils learn about a Scot who refused to leave the side of hundreds of Jewish schoolgirls in Hungary during the Second World War

Many schools are struggling to recruit teachers in Scotland – yet many teachers are struggling to find jobs. Emma Seith explores the reasons for this persistent problem

The Scottish government is also expected to ‘lock’ the pupil-teacher ratio at current levels amid council proposals to cut teacher jobs

The timelines for the reform of Scottish qualifications will be realistic – but will also ensure ‘over time we continue to make progress’
