SNP ministers were urged today to take immediate action to rebuild trust in Scotland’s education system following the publication of an expert review this week. 

The Scottish government announced that it will be replacing Scotland’s exams body with a new organisation following a report from the OECD (the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) on Monday.

Education Scotland will also lose its school inspection role in the shake-up, after the OECD said that there needs to be “more coherence and alignment” with the principles of the Curriculum for Excellence system.
