The Fall In the Higher rate of success merits investigation, But in this Phase, care is needed to avoid assuming that cause-and-effect.

In recent years, which has a Higher success rate in General, around 77% were and inevitably the numbers will fluctuate.

There were small declines in 2017 and 2018 - could almost be counted as a marginal - But the 2% fall this year is obviously more important.

experts will want to ensure that all contributing factors are properly understood and researched.

The SQA is trying to ensure standards are consistent, so this is unlikely to be on the tests getting harder and harder.

fall This year, it does not mean that The System is in the Crisis - in the next year The Number could also be, a rebound.

But it would be bells, a further decline in certainly the alarm.

It is also worth noting that the 2015 pass rate of 79% for the new Highers was exceptional and requires careful handling.

This year, both the new style Highers and their predecessors were available. Decisions of individual schools or teachers, have the you can use, distorts the image.
