QCA today published its Annual Review of activities in 2006. The review considers the progress that has been made since the last review, reporting on the monitoring of the examination system, assessments, qualifications and the curriculum.

Ken Boston, Chief Executive of QCA, said:

"The Annual Review provides a valuable opportunity for QCA to assess the impact of its work over the past year. It provides a chance to look forward to building upon the successes the organisation has achieved and towards the challenges of the future. One of QCA's key objectives is to inspire people of every age and stage of life to participate in learning; we look forward to continuing to achieve this aim."

Also today, QCA published GCSEs and A levels: the experiences of teachers, students, parents and the general public, an updated report looking at trends between 2003 and 2006.
