The Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) will appoint a new chair as it transitions to become a new organisation.
As part of an overhaul of the education system, the exams body and Education Scotland will be scrapped and replaced by the summer of 2024.
Current SQA chair David Middleton will leave in August this year when his current term comes to an end.
His replacement will be appointed to the SQA and then transfer to the new body when it is created.
