Information requested

I would like to request information on how many papers at National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher over the last 5 years of examinations have been disqualified due to criticism or abuse towards the SQA or other personal.

Response

In the last five years, there has been one instance where an award was cancelled due to the paper containing abusive references to SQA.
