The Scottish Secondary Teachers’ Association today supported the EIS call for an opt in arrangement for Phase 3 Verification.

Acting General Secretary Alan McKenzie today said, "This is a sensible proposal allowing a little flexibility for hard-pressed schools to ease the workload burden that is now accepted as a barrier to the successful implementation of the Nationals. The Association Education Panel met on Saturday and considered this proposal and endorsed the concept of changing Verification at Stage 3. We must all work together to make this work and we have a sensible proposal from the EIS to do this".
