Efficiency scoping exercise and right to reply letters

Last updated on: 08/04/2008

The Scoping exercise for a study of the efficiency of the qualifications system report was carried out by Europe Economics, on behalf of QCA. It preceded an efficiency study requested by the Department for Education and Skills (now the Department for Children, Schools and Families) into the qualifications system in England. The principal purpose of the scoping study was to advise QCA on what the scope of an efficiency study could reasonably be, given the capacity of stakeholders to contribute to it and the experience available from other sectors in the conduct of such studies.

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.
