Students across Edinburgh and the Lothians are celebrating record-breaking exam results, with soaring pass rates in National 5, Higher, and Advanced Higher qualifications — marking the strongest performance since pre-pandemic times. In Edinburgh alone, 80.9% of National 5s and 78.5% of Highers hit grades A to C, while East Lothian hit its highest scores since 2022 and Midlothian saw the biggest jump in Advanced Higher passes. Teens like Moustafa Watti (three Advanced Higher A’s) and Bibi Coane (multiple A-grade National 5s) are turning these wins into university offers or career paths. With a record number of 18-year-olds getting university places, Education Secretary hailed the results as “incredibly positive,” reinforcing Scotland’s commitment to free tuition and equal access based on merit — paving the way for a brighter future for young learners.
