Commentary on Sections Part 8: the Qualifications and Curriculum Development Agency Chapter 5: General Section 192: Minor and consequential amendments
537.This section introduces Schedule 12, which contains minor and consequential amendments resulting from the establishment of Ofqual and the revised regime for the QCDA. The changes to section 87 of the Education Act 2002 and to section 41 of the Childcare Act 2006 are particularly relevant to the QCDA’s role, in that these Acts (and regulations made under them) along with the Education Act 1997 contain the full range of the QCA’s current statutory functions. In other words, a significant amount of the QCA’s work relates to functions conferred under the 2002 and 2006 Acts, and potentially this will also be the case for the QCDA.
