This report, carried out by Europe Economics, represents a “Scoping Study” commissioned by QCA to precede an efficiency study called for by the then Department for Education and Skills (now the Department for Children, Schools and Families) into the qualifications system in England. The principal purpose of the Scoping Study is to advise QCA on what the scope of an efficiency study could reasonably be, given the capacity of stakeholders to contribute to it and the experience available from other sectors in the conduct of such studies.
