Request or Question
I am emailing to ask the following Freedom of Information questions about managing the practical issues around the SQA exam process. Specifically, I would like to ask the following: 1. For each of the last 10 years how many pupils have required separate accommodation for sitting SQA exams?
2. For each of the last 10 years how many pupils have required separate individual accommodation for sitting SQA exams?
3. For each of the last 10 years how many invigilators has the council employed for SQA exams?
4. For each of the last 10 years how much has the council spent on invigilators for SQA exams
Response
The additional arrangements are entered into the SQA portal each exam diet, and Scottish Borders Council don?t retain/archive this information. In relation to SQA Invigilators they are contracted and paid for by SQA. Therefore we give notice under s17 of FOI(S)A 2002 and declare that the information is not held. The information may be available from the SQA at LINK1
