Dr Ken Boston, head of the QCA, steps down

By on December 14, 2008 in Education News

On Tuesday, Lord Sutherland is due to publish the findings of his inquiry into what caused the delays and confusion with the SATs tests last year.  In advance of that the head of the exams watchdog in England has resigned. Dr Ken Boston, head of the QCA, has stepped down ahead of the report into the chaos.  If Lord Sutherland produces a damning report into what the government calls “severe problems” with the tests, then it could raise the prospect of further heads rolling.  Lord Sutherland’s report will seek to establish what caused the problems that saw so much confusion over the tests – and why it appeared to take so long for a response.
