The Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF) is the national credit transfer system for all levels of qualifications in Scotland. It incorporates the Scottish Qualifications Certificate, Higher National Certificate, Higher National Diploma, Scottish Vocational Qualification (SVQ) (equivalent to National Vocational Qualification (NVQ)) and all Degrees of Scottish Higher Education Institutions. It is managed by a partnership of the Scottish Qualifications Authority, the Association of Scotland's Colleges (ASC), QAA Scotland, Universities Scotland and the Scottish Government . England, Wales and Northern Ireland have been developing the National Qualifications Framework in a similar fashion and the SCQF integrates with the European credit transfer system.

“We’ll never know the worth of water till the well go dry.”
—18th-century Scottish proverb, collected in James Kelly, Complete Collection of Scottish Proverbs, no. 351 (1721)
“Especially with our first child, we tend to take too much responsibility—both credit and blame—for everything. The more we want to be good parents, the more we tend to see ourselves as making or breaking our children.”
—Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
“Most young black females learn to be suspicious and critical of feminist thinking long before they have any clear understanding of its theory and politics.... Without rigorously engaging feminist thought, they insist that racial separatism works best. This attitude is dangerous. It not only erases the reality of common female experience as a basis for academic study; it also constructs a framework in which differences cannot be examined comparatively.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
