Review of standards
Last updated on: 13/03/2008
The overall aim of the programme was to investigate standards in A level and GCSE examinations in order to determine any action needed to safeguard standards and to inform future development in the examinations.
These documents were published by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA). The regulatory function of QCA is now the responsibility of the Office of the Qualifications and Examinations Regulator (Ofqual). Ofqual regulates qualifications and monitors national curriculum assessments in England.
