15 and 16 year-old school pupils are not to face graded exams across Scotland.
A review of the assessment process is suggesting the removal of the intense exam programme which sees pupils achieve National 5 qualifications at the end of fourth year.
Now, proposals recommend that students should be graded on coursework alongside a "Scottish diploma" which incorporates extra-curricular activities, like playing sport, volunteering or being a member of Scouts or Girl Guides.
