Surveys

Date published: 02/05/2025

I have today been told that the SQA "currently survey educators, learners, employers and parents and carers on an annual basis, which is undertaken by a leading independent research company. This takes the form of a mix of online surveys, telephone interviews and face-to-face survey work."

Please release the full results of this work (for example, the full final report and any additional material provided to the SQA by the "independent research company") for the past five years.

This year's research is available on the SQA website at https://www.sqa.org.uk/sqa/112427.html

Please find attached the survey reports for 2020, 2021 and 2023.

Please note that the surveys for 2020 and 2021 were composed of different questions for different groups of people and as such the results are not directly comparable to those for the last two years.

Please note that the names and identifying information of SQA staff below Head of Service level and non-SQA staff have been removed under section 38 (1)(b) as this is considered personal information.
