QCA

The Qualifcations and Curriculum Authority regulates the public examination system, so that it is responsive to the needs of learners and society and is responsible for the development, delivery and administration of high-quality national tests.

It develops and keeps under review the national curriculum, which defines the knowledge, understanding and skills to which children and young people are entitled.

Its national qualifications framework enables it to accredit qualifications at appropriate levels to meet the needs of employers and learners. It oversees the work of the awarding bodies, to ensure that their administration, marking and awarding procedures run smoothly.

This organisation is a Qualifications Authority.
