  2. 500,000 pupils at private schools in England

    25,000 pupils at private schools Scotland. Half as much pro rata.

  3. South Korea does well in Pisa tests. Selective education. Most pupils leave school by 16. Hot housing children. Studying day & night. Private tutors. The children are worn out. Large numbers have left school.

    Not comparable. Not comparing like with like.

    Many countries do not have enough university and further education. Scotland has life long learning. The most universities in the world, pro rata. 15 and colleges. 5.4 million pop.

    The Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) – which will be replaced by Qualifications Scotland in December – confirmed that the 2024-2025 session resulted in:

    • Overall attainment rates at A-C increasing at all levels of National Qualifications (National 5, Higher, and Advanced Higher)
    • The poverty-related attainment gap narrowing at all levels of National Qualifications (National 5, Higher, and Advanced Higher)
    • Total number of vocational and technical qualifications – the skills-based awards that unlock training and career opportunities – surging past 100,000 for first time ever
    • More than 200,000 Higher entries for first time since Curriculum for Excellence (CfE) qualifications were introduced in 2014.
