SQA have indicated that they will publish Course Rationale and Summary documents for National 4 and National 5 this morning (Monday 31.01.11). These draft documents will be made available on the SQA website (http://www.sqa.org.uk/curriculumforexcellence).

There is a very short consultation period, 2 months, and the Association will be asked for immediate responses to the document.

If you have time in your busy schedule to look at the rationale for your subject a short (or long) comment sent to info@ssta.org.uk (adding SQA comments to the subject line) would be greatly appreciated. These will form the basis of both the Associations initial and later, full response. Detailed comments sent during February and March will also be particularly welcome.

With best wishes

Yours sincerely

Ann Ballinger

General Secretary
