The answer

Answered by Nicol Stephen on 13 Nov 2002 · 12 days after it was lodged, on time

The information requested for 1999 onwards is given on page number 7 of Examination Results in Scottish Schools 1999-2001, published by the Scottish Executive in 2001. A copy of this publication is available in the Parliament's Reference Centre (Bib. number 17908).Prior to 1999, these statistics are presented on the basis of an individual year, rather than cumulative attainment by the end of sixth year. They are not, therefore, directly comparable with the statistics from 1999 onwards. The available pre-1999 statistics are given in the following publications, also published by the Scottish Executive Education Department, copies of which are available in the Parliament's Reference Centre:Title | Year of Publication | Page | Bib. Number
