This article is about a subject (computing) that can be studied as part of Scottish secondary education. It does not seem that we have other articles about the Scottish Highers syllabus. As a technical description of the curriculum this article is based on the corresponding page on the Scottish Qualifications Authority website. It is dependent on that single source and unless regularly updated, useless. It is also not really an encyclopaedic article as it does not tell us about the curriculum topic - how it was developed, controversies, etc. As it stands the topic is not notable.

• Delete - I cannot see why an individual higher (or indeed an A-Level or similar school qualification) would be notable enough to merit an article of its own unless it was a world first or was otherwise innovative and had a wider impact on education. However there is nothing in this article to suggest that this is the case. Nor is computing the most common higher taken by Scottish pupils. Dunarc (talk) 22:43, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: Looks more like a course catalog that visitors of a college website would read, not something that people of 100 years from now would care about. Wikipedia is not a catalog. Subjects of Wikipedia articles need to have impact. flowing dreams (talk page) 11:31, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
