Congratulations to Scotland's brilliant children.

The Scottish Qualifications Authority today announced record passes in the Standard and Higher Grade exam results.

Education Minister Peter Perfect said the results showed the general trend of steadily improving performance thanks to Labour Party policy and that children educated under Tory policy were "undoubtedly thicker" than the children of today.

The pass rate for Higher exams has increased slightly to 106%, and there were more A and B grades awarded. The full results, compiled by the pupils of St. Magrit of the Impossible Conception, are as follows:
