I did struggle when I discovered this was a three to five year cycle of deja vu with govt sponsoring department. <br /><br />I do think my concerns will be lost in what will become a bean feast for other organisations self interest - even some of the cross party skills committee don't really realise the significant regulatory role SQA has played and SCOTVEC played in Scottish life long learning system joecar80https://www.blogger.com/profile/03409343662244638793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098630.post-35967307492278217222021-07-21T13:22:15.836+01:002021-07-21T13:22:15.836+01:00Thankful to finally hear someone highlighting the ...Thankful to finally hear someone highlighting the failure of Scottish Government (either wilfully or through sheer niavety) to recognise the role that SQA plays in relation to vocational education and qualifications for regulated professions. SQA has established an international reputation for its qualifications - admired and respected by institutions from the USA, through the Middle East and Asia to China. To sweep all this away without a thought to the damage to our skills system is well worthy of Joe's condemnation in this post.<br /><br />I do hope the members of the cross-party group on skills at Scottish Parliament are listening - and losing sleep over this dreadful mistake at the top level! If we are to secure economic recovery by upskilling our workforce and training young adults, then vocational qualifications should not and must not be tampered with in this thoughtless manner. I do hope that there will be a crescendo of voices telling our government to pause and consider.Walter Pattersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09603655214330762662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098630.post-1752882158294466492021-05-12T09:21:21.234+01:002021-05-12T09:21:21.234+01:00Joe - many thanks for this reflective post and lin...Joe - many thanks for this reflective post and links to the recorded proceedings of #OER21. Much appreciated for those who were otherwise occupied on the day(s)! And thanks too for all those in-conference tweets.<br /><br />I can only admire your committment to persuading education policy makers of the value and importance of OER to their efforts to improve Scottish education at all levels. Hopefully any SF Cabinet reshuffle following the election will offer a fresh opportunity to find a listening ear! The #OER21 conference should provide a fesh impetus for all such efforts - putting some 'wind in the sails'! <br /><br />Well done - and more power to your efforts!Walter Pattersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09603655214330762662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098630.post-40765339905390073682020-12-31T14:54:00.364+00:002020-12-31T14:54:00.364+00:00Been a hell of a year Joe, we can only hope 2021 i...Been a hell of a year Joe, we can only hope 2021 is better.
