Why has Scotland struggled to detach itself from ‘high-stakes, end-point exams’? Headteacher Gail Preston says a new approach is needed to assess schools and students more fairly tes.com/magazine/analysis/se…

We need more creative ways to judge Scotland’s schools

There is an ‘uncomfortable duality’ in an education system that champions social justice but relies on assessment that is ‘wholly inappropriate’ for many young people, says head Gail Preston

If you ruled Scotland, what would you change? That’s the question we’re posing to school pupils around the country. The ‘If I Ruled Scotland’ competition invites primary and secondary pupils to share their vision for the nation’s future, in any form they choose.
