Examination boards

Examination boards are organizations responsible for setting, administering, and grading academic exams at various education levels. They establish standard curricula, create standardized tests, and ensure consistent grading across schools. These boards also certify student achievements, issue qualification certificates, and maintain educational quality standards. Their role is essential in providing an impartial assessment framework that helps universities, employers, and other institutions recognize and validate students’ academic qualifications. Examples include AQA and Edexcel in the UK or the College Board in the US. They ensure that academic credentials are meaningful, reliable, and internationally recognized.
