Quality Qualifications
In the UK, they have a very advanced system to make sure the education you receive is really good. When you decide to study here, you can trust that the course and school you pick are closely watched to make sure they meet high standards. All nationally recognized qualifications in the UK have to meet strict quality standards. Government-appointed agencies keep an eye on these standards for further and higher education institutions to ensure the courses are consistent and of high quality. For English language and professional qualifications, there are special checks to make sure they're also of good quality.
These agencies include the Qualifications Curriculum Authority (QCA) in England, the Qualifications, Curriculum and Assessment Authority for Wales (ACCAC), the Northern Ireland Council for the Curriculum, Examinations, and Assessment (CCEA), and the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA). The Higher Education Funding Councils also have a duty to assess the quality of education they support. They do this through the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA), which is a UK-wide organization created by the higher education sector itself. They also watch over the quality of research through the Research Assessment Exercise (RAE).
