TEACHERS will have to rely to an “unfortunately excessive extent” on “pseudo exams” to assess senior pupils in Scotland this year, according to an education expert. Lindsay Paterson, ­professor of education policy at the University of Edinburgh, said this was because the Scottish ­Qualifications Authority (SQA) had cancelled most of the normally assessed course work this year, “a failure that has not been widely enough commented on”. The national exam diet was called off because of the coronavirus ­pandemic but concern is growing over Alternative Certification Model (ACM), with many pupils ­complaining the assessments scheduled for this term look like formal exams.
