SNSA and MCNG Survey Results

Created on: 02 Oct 2024

The 2022 EIS AGM passed the following resolution:

“That this AGM is deeply concerned at the Scottish Government’s decision to proceed with further significant investment in SNSAs in spite of sustained EIS challenge to this assessment approach and OECD advice that SNSAs are of limited value."

This report is a summary of a survey that was issued to members between 12th May and 2nd June 2023. In total 1,827 responses were gathered from EIS members teaching P1, P4, P7 and S3 year groups. It was also open to members who teach at least one of these year groups as a composite class.

The survey questions for this survey were adapted from a previous Scottish National Standardised Assessments, and the Measaidhean Coitcheann Nàiseanta airson Foghlam tron Ghàidhlig, (SNSA and MCNG) survey that was issued to members on June 2018. The questions within this survey report differ from those asked in 2018 so direct comparison is not possible. The 2018 report can be read alongside these new findings for completeness of reporting.
