Our strategic priorities
We aim to give every learner the opportunity to fulfil their potential, and to deliver for Scotland by making a positive social and economic impact. We'll achieve this by being an open, collaborative and forward-thinking organisation that puts learners’ and educators’ voices at the heart of our decision-making.
Our purpose
Our purpose is to deliver the Education (Scotland) Act 2025 by designing, delivering and awarding qualifications that provide all learners with fair and equal opportunity to fulfil their potential.
Nick Page , Chief Executive Officer, said: This must be our time to do things not just differently but be genuinely transformational — it is imperative that learners and their educators are enabled to use great qualifications to realise all their incredible potential
Our business plan: Accelerating Change
This plan sets out our priorities to the end of March 2026 and acts as a bridge to our three-year corporate plan, which will launch in April.
It provides clarity on where we will focus our efforts in these early months.
As Qualifications Scotland starts work, we will
move forward with qualifications reform, supported by the new Schools Partnership Team
strengthen the organisation’s leadership - with greater learner, educator and employee representation - and its accreditation and self-regulation functions
begin a process of reviewing every area of the organisation to deliver improvement and change
