Ofqual (Office of the Qualifications and Examinations Regulator)
On 2 April 2008 Ed Balls, Secretary of State for Children Schools and Families announced that the government intended to legislate to make Ofqual a separate statutory authority reporting directly to Parliament.
The first Chair will be Kathleen Tattersall OBE.
Ofqual will act as the independent guardian of standards across the qualifications, tests and exam system in England.
Ed Balls also announced that the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA), to be known as the Qualifications and Curriculum Development Agency (QCDA), will develop into an agency for developing curriculum, assessment and qualifications.
