STAFF at the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) could go on strike before the agency is scrapped, amid concerns that the change in system could leave staff in limbo.
The SQA is due to be replaced as part of plans to reform the education system in Scotland, but the Unite branch says staff have not been consulted about their future.
