The DCFS and DIUS together released their proposal about how to spilt the regulation and development of qualifications in England. There will be a new Office of the Qualifications and Examination Regulator which will be the "guardian across the assessment and qualification system". This body is to ensure standards remain high, value for money and operate mainly at a strategic level, although they could intervene into specific cases if needed. They will also regulate key stage tests and the moderation of assessment at key stage 1 and early years foundation stage.
The current QCA (Qualifications & Curriculum Authority) will reform to be the development agency for curriculum, assessment and qualifications.
