Curriculum and Assessment Board
Overview
The Curriculum and Assessment Board (CAB) was established in 2017 to provide a forum for discussion about what is working in the curriculum and where improvements are needed.
It serves as an advisory body and plays a central role in the governance structure of education reform. Its advice will inform the Curriculum and Assessment Assurance Board, with overall governance overseen by the Education Reform Programme Board.
CAB meets quarterly but may convene more frequently when required.
CAB replaced the Curriculum for Excellence Management Board and its supporting structures: the Curriculum for Excellence Implementation Group and the Assessment and National Qualifications Group.
