Learners at Glasgow Kelvin College's Springburn Campus celebrated their exam results as Qualifications Scotland’s Chief Qualifications and Examinations Officer, Donna Stewart, visited the campus to mark our first Results Day.

As Glasgow welcomed the world for the 2026 Commonwealth Games, Qualifications Scotland was there to showcase a different kind of Scottish achievement: our world-class education and skills system.

Results Day is a major milestone for learners across Scotland, with thousands opening envelopes to find out what they have been awarded in their National Qualifications and Awards.

More than 148,000 learners across Scotland will receive their results today – enabling them to progress onto their next stage in education, training or employment.

Support and guidance are available to the tens of thousands of young people across Scotland awaiting the results of their Qualifications Scotland qualifications next week.

Qualifications Scotland has published its first Engagement Report, marking a significant step in building a qualifications body shaped by the people who use it - teachers, lecturers, trainers, and hundreds of thousands of learners across Scotland.

Scotland's young anti-racism campaigners were celebrated at the home of Scottish football, as Qualifications Scotland and Show Racism the Red Card honoured the winners of the 2026 Creative Competition at a ceremony held at Hampden Park in Glasgow.

Qualifications Scotland today launches its first Qualifications Scotland Excellence Awards, recognising the outstanding achievements of learners, educators, and centres across Scotland, the rest of the UK, and internationally.
