Higher (Scottish)

In the Scottish secondary education system, the Higher is one of the national school-leaving certificate exams and university entrance qualifications of the Scottish Qualifications Certificate (SQC) offered by the Scottish Qualifications Authority. It superseded the old Higher Grade on the Scottish Certificate of Education (SCE). Both are normally referred to simply as "Highers". In addition the standard route of Highers and Advanced Highers, the proportion taking alternative qualifications in Scotland for entry into universities such as English GCE A-Levels or the International Baccalaureate Diploma is increasing.

The modern Higher is Level 6 on the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework.

History

Origins

In 1888, the Scottish Leaving Certificate was established in response to the terms of the Education Act of 1872. It was designed to have higher and lower levels assessed as individual subjects including Mathematics, Ancient or Modern Foreign Language, Science, etc. The higher level aimed at university entrance and the lower to suit the General Medical Council entrance requirements. This was later revised to higher level for entry to university and lower for banking insurance and business. Between 1963 and 1982 Higher Grades were awarded by the Scottish Certificate of Education Examination Board (SCEEB), which later became the Scottish Examination Board (SEB), and was the historical terminal exam for the majority of Scottish secondary school pupils, especially those seeking work in skilled industries or progress onto higher education. They were usually taken in the 5th Year of secondary school (often referred to as S5, and entered at age 15 or 16). The SCE Higher progressed on from the SCE Ordinary Grade.

    Higher Level

    Higher Level
    They say if Africa's asleep they are to blame
    They rape 'n chop like creeps
    But our creeps we coul easily chip 'n tag
    Still wrap our kids in garbage bags
    While the war keeps tagging my sisters
    As "whore" they have to die from their blisters
    War whores glow on tv
    Their diamonds on each ear
    I have to keep in
    (or my friends say there she goes again, but it 's difficult when you wanna)
    Let it out
    (why don't you start writing, I did!)
    And then don't be surprised if you find
    Me at night in the streets
    And I shout
    I wanna be proud
    Proud of humanity
    Scream it out loud
    How proud I would be
    Get the higher level
    Don' t worship the devil
    I would be proud of humanity
    Still shocked, stuck in the holocaust
    Don't ask who did we vote for
    We change the subject to that continent so deprived
    It 's why we dump them food and advice
    Oh we 're so wise invented anti rape belts
    Keep it cheap, with less than a dollar to spend
    To consume what we 've been taught
    Our daily fuel and happy thoughts
    I have to keep in
    (or my friends say there she goes again, but it 's difficult when you wanna)
    Let it out
    (why don't you start writing, I did!)
    And then don't be surprised if you find
    Me at night in the streets
    (in my nihtgown)
    And I shout
    I wanna be proud
    Proud of humanity
    Scream it out loud
    How proud I would be
    Get the higher level
    Don' t worship the devil
    I would be proud of humanity
    But to be allowed to shout
    How proud I would be
    I guess I'll have to confess that part of this mess
    Is me
    Higher level
    Don' t worship the devil
    Proud of humanity
    Higher level
