The Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA), working closely with
government and other agencies, leads the reform of education and
training programmes that equip learners, teaching professionals and
employers with the skills and support they need to meet the demands of
the 21st century. Our core responsibilities include:
- developing and reviewing the national curriculum so that all pupils have access to the same high-quality curriculum content
- working with stakeholders and strategic partners to develop innovative education initiatives, such as the 14-19 Diploma and the Qualifications and Credit Framework
- providing guidance and support, helping to build an education and training system that benefits all learners throughout their lives
Later this year QCA will evolve into the Qualifications and Curriculum
Development Agency (QCDA), a new agency which will create, develop and
deliver the Government's programmes for the management and reform of
qualifications, curriculum and assessment.
"If I could change one thing in education then I would introduce a course,
taught in schools and colleges, teaching young people how to deal with the
issues of tomorrow: economic, environmental, and other issues slowly
affecting us all, like terrorism. It would make young people more
politically aware, and some would go on to become the politicians of
tomorrow."
