Ofqual Report to Parliament
Ofqual’s second Report to Parliament covers the period from 1 April 2011 to 31 December 2014.
Ofqual has today laid a report to Parliament that sets out how we have performed our functions over the period between April 2011 and December 2014. It also provides an assessment of how we have met our statutory objectives over the same period.
Commenting on the report in their joint foreword, Glenys Stacey, Chief Regulator, and Amanda Spielman, Chair, say:
We believe we have developed effective regulatory approaches and dealt with standards issues immediately as they have arisen. What is more, we have spent an increasing proportion of our time and resource on detection and prevention rather than on more reactive work, while also implementing significant reforms to GCSEs, AS and A levels as well as vocational qualifications.
