COSLA Children and Young People Spokesperson Cllr Tony Buchanan has commented as pupils across Scotland receive SQA exam results:

“Congratulations to all young people across Scotland receiving SQA results today. I know a great deal of effort goes into working towards qualifications, supported by your teachers, school staff and families. I hope you are feeling proud of your efforts today. If you’re feeling disappointed today, remember that you’re not alone, and there’s plenty of support out there to help you explore the next steps towards achieving your goals.

Whatever your results, there really is #NoWrongPath - as demonstrated by the range of routes people take into their careers. Advice is available and I would strongly encourage young people and their families to visit the My World of Work website (https://www.myworldofwork.co.uk/) for more information and support."
