Qualifications and Curriculum Authority

The Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) was a UK organization responsible for overseeing school curriculum standards, assessment, and qualifications in England. It ensured that educational content and assessments met national standards, helping schools deliver consistent and high-quality education. QCA also developed qualifications like GCSEs and A-levels. In 2008, its responsibilities were absorbed into other educational bodies, leading to the current system managed primarily by Ofqual and the Department for Education.
