Review of Qualifications and Assessment

Professor Hayward has been appointed by the Cabinet Secretary for Education and Skills, to undertake an Independent Review, looking at how the current system could better recognise the achievements of all learners.

The Review will be inclusive both in its design and in its development.

It will involve:

  • Those for whom qualifications matter most, individual learners and, as appropriate, their parents or carers;
  • Those involved in the design development and delivery of qualifications, for example teachers and lecturers, headteachers, local and national policy communities, national agencies.
  • Those who use qualifications, for example, schools, colleges, employers and universities.

The Review will also be informed by evidence from research on topics key to the work of the Review, e.g.; international qualifications and qualification systems, curriculum, equity and inclusion, and what matters if change is to be successful.
