The question

To ask the Scottish Executive how many pupils are still awaiting the results of examinations from the Scottish Qualifications Authority's 1999-2000 exam programme.

The answer

Answered by Jack McConnell on 1 Feb 2001

Every case of incomplete, inaccurate or missing results raised with the Scottish Qualifications Authority has been thoroughly investigated and a result issued to the candidate concerned. I have made clear to the SQA the importance of getting these candidates their final certificates
- not just results
- and that process is underway.Following my announcement on 21 December that an independent Appeals Review would be established, 4,000 appeal cases are currently being re-examined. We will complete this review as quickly as possible to end the uncertainty and get fair and accurate results to all the young people affected.
