	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/03/2019 answer text <p>In relation to qualifications, this is a matter for Ofqual, the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation. I have asked its Chief Regulator, Sally Collier, to write to the Hon. Member and a copy of her reply will be placed in the Libraries of both Houses. <br> <br> Ofqual regulates statutory national curriculum assessments. In doing this they have two statutory objectives: to promote the development and implementation of national assessments which give a reliable indication of achievement and indicate a consistent level of attainment, including over time, between comparable assessments; and to promote public confidence in national assessments. Ofqual has no specific powers to follow up with the Standards and Testing Agency (STA) if there are mistakes in national tests. Modified tests are developed by a Modified Test Agency contracted to STA, who conduct Quality Assurance proofing at different stages in the development of materials. STA also engages external proofers during this process to ensure that any errors in questions are detected and rectified before materials are sent to schools.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 11/03/2019 17:51:35 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
