JCQ aims to:
-
Reduce bureaucracy for schools and colleges by facilitating and delivering common administrative arrangements for examinations.
-
Provide a forum for strategic debate, information exchange and expression of common interest amongst awarding bodies.
-
Enable member awarding bodies to jointly express views and collectively respond to national issues.
-
Provide a channel for collective discussion with key stakeholders including the HE sector, teachers, and their representative organisations.
In meeting these aims, JCQ undertakes a wide range of activities including the publishing of national GCSE and A level results in August; handling enquiries from examination officers; and publishing advice, guidance and regulations on delivering examinations.
