Written question asked by Lord Taylor of Warwick (Conservative), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Baroness Morgan of Drefelin (Labour) on Wednesday, 12 November 2008.
National Assessment Agency
- Question
- asked Her Majesty's Government:Why civil servants at the National Assessment Agency are to receive bonuses; and whether such bonuses took into account the preparation for the marking of the 2008 standard assessment tests which began more than a year ago.
- Answer
-
The National Assessment Agency is part of the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA), which is a non-departmental public body (NDPB) and is responsible for its own pay arrangements. The overall pay settlement for QCA in 2007-08 was in line with HM Treasury guidance for NDPBs and public sector workers. Bonus payments are linked to meeting specific performance objectives set for each member of staff, many of whom work on programmes unrelated to the delivery of national curriculum tests. The performance evaluations for bonus payments relate to the last financial year ending in March 2008.
