Survey of Members

A sample of members were asked to complete an on-line survey on their readiness to deliver N4 and N5 qualifications next session.

The full results of the survey can be accessed at the following link...... http://www.ssta.org.uk/request.php?35

It is work noting that when asked “How confident are you in your ability to deliver appropriate course materials”, two thirds (65.3%) of respondents felt they were either ‘not at all confident’ or ‘not confident’. When asked “How confident are you in your ability to assess your pupils for the new National Qualifications”, over three-quarters (81.5%) were either ‘not at all confident’ or ‘not confident’.

A wide range of written comments were submitted and these are included in the full results link.

Thanks to all those who have participated in the survey.
