Recommendation 11

The successor committee may also wish to look at how Qualifications Scotland is operating in practice, following the passage of the Education (Scotland) Act 2025, specifically:
The extent to which there has been a culture change within Qualifications Scotland, since it replaced the Scottish Qualifications Authority.
The extent to which the Act has contributed towards HMIE being better able to report on the Scottish education system's performance.
Whether, as a result of changes brought in by the Act, Education Scotland is able to provide support on a regional and national basis, and how this can best be assessed?
