Information requested

I would like information regarding SQA policy on retirees working for SQA as markers, team leaders, deputy PAs, etc. Is there a three year rule on retirement from school? Is this enforced across all teams?

Response

There is no rule on how long a person can undertake an appointee role after retiring from their teaching role. While we aim to appoint people who have currency of delivering the course (or a closely related course), this is not always possible as we need to ensure a balance of skills and experience across all teams. Any new applicants must meet the currency criteria before their application will be considered.
