A Prospectus for Change - Corporate Plan

Our Prospectus is an ambitious blueprint for Scotland's new qualifications body. It is a significant milestone for the education and skills community and marks the start of a year-long transition from SQA to Qualifications Scotland.

The Prospectus has been developed through extensive consultation and engagement with learners, teachers, lecturers, employers, training providers and many stakeholder organisations, as well as SQA staff.

Three key pledges lie at the heart of the Prospectus:

resetting relationships with learners and teachers to win back their trust
grasping the potential of technology to streamline services, making them more accessible and efficient
delivering qualifications and assessments that keep pace with rapid changes in society and the economy.
