THE SQA has apologised following reports pupils received "blank emails" instead of their results.
We told how a number of people had taken to social media to say their children were receiving emails or texts which did not show the grades.
The SQA posted a statement on Twitter/X shortly before 9am saying it was “working urgently to resolve an issue impacting candidates who signed up to receive their results by email only”.
The statement said: “We know there is an issue impacting candidates who signed up to receive their results by email only.
“We are working urgently to resolve the issue. Texts are not impacted and the vast majority of learners who signed up to MySQA are receiving their as expected.
“All learners across Scotland will also receive their physical certificate today via post.”
A separate statement sent to The National around 9.30am said the issue had been resolved.
"We have resolved a technical issue that impacted candidates who signed up to receive their results by email only using the MySQA service," the statement said.
"Texts were not impacted and the vast majority of learners who signed up to MySQA received their results as expected.
"We apologise for any concern caused to learners who experienced a delay before receiving their MySQA email with their results attached."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
