  • La Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) est l'organisme public responsable de la délivrance des diplômes de l'enseignement public du gouvernement écossais. Elle est en partie financée par l'Education and Lifelong Learning Directorate (Direction de la Formation Initiale et Continue) et compte 750 employés à Glasgow et Dalkeith. La SQA se charge chaque année de l'organisation des examens de tous les écoliers écossais en coordination avec l'Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual) du Royaume-Uni. Les certificats d'études secondaires qu'elle délivre constituent un prérequis pour l'inscription dans un établissement d'études supérieures et les universités écossaises exigent l'obtention de notes supérieures à la moyenne dans au moins trois disciplines au General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE), l'équivalent du baccalauréat français. La SQA est aussi chargée de tenir à jour les Conventions orthographiques du gaélique écossais. (fr)
  • The Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA; Gaelic: Ùghdarras Theisteanas na h-Alba) is the executive non-departmental public body of the Scottish Government responsible for accrediting educational awards. It is partly funded by the Education and Lifelong Learning Directorate of the Scottish Government, and employs approximately 750 staff based in Glasgow and Dalkeith. SQA is best known for the delivery of the annual diet of public examinations within Scotland for school pupils. SQA Higher examinations are the general acceptable level for entry to university, with Scottish universities usually requesting a minimum of 3 Highers, all above C level. However, a greater number of candidates of all ages participate in SQA specialist, vocational and higher education qualifications. SQA is accredited by the UK government to offer educational qualifications. On 21 June 2021 it was announced that the SQA would be replaced following a review by the OECD. Despite such announcements, the SQA continues to function for the academic year 2021-2022 and, as announced 9 March 2022, the authority will not be replaced until 2024. (en)
