Probe into class-wide course failure at Inverness College UHI
SQA to investigate why every student failed Higher media
An investigation is being carried out after an entire class of Inverness College UHI students failed their course.
All 20-students have not received any award for the Higher media course.
The institution says it has asked the Scottish Qualifications Authority to look into what has happened.
In a statement given to MFR News, Diane Rawlinson, principal and chief executive at Inverness College UHI, said: "At Inverness College UHI we take exam results and student success very seriously.
"This is evidenced by the excellent HMIE report we received earlier this year as well as the year on year improvements to attainment levels we have achieved in both Further and Higher education.
"As we do every year, we are undertaking a review of all published results comparing them against those projected for each student.
"In the case of this particular course, the usual quality assurance processes were in place and the awarding body verifier recently reported ‘significant strengths in the delivery and management of this award’ and confirmed that ‘assessment judgements were consistent with the national standards set’.
"SQA are currently investigating this matter at our request."
