So last night ScotGov quietly published a report on the 2019 exam results, 32 minutes after releasing the material to me as part of a 6-month FOI battle. Here are some before-and-after images of the material that is now unredacted:
What& #39;s really amusing is just how daft the redactions were. The material they were trying to kept secret here is incredibly dull, and I say that as an Enlgish teacher!
& #39;Candidates need to ensure they are addressing all aspects of a question.& #39;
Really? Because I& #39;d just been telling my students to read the first few words then write down whatever the hell popped into their heads.

Although to be fair other parts are a bit more interesting/embarrassing. Such as the section on Maths qualifications that repeatedly highlights "weak numeracy".
One thing lots of people are saying is that this report shows declines in pass rates, but that information has been available since August last year.
