§ Mr. BoswellTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will report progress on the re-accreditation of national vocational qualifications. [142296]
§ Mr. Wicks[holding answer 13 December 2000]: There has been a 20 per cent. reduction in the number of NVQ titles since they peaked in 1997. The QCA accredits NVQs on a rolling basis and future market needs will be reflected through their re-accreditation programme.
