Following in this tradition, the Pasteur Foundation created a summer internship program for American undergraduates who wish to pursue a scientific career. Located in the heart of Paris, the Institut Pasteur is one of the world’s leading biomedical research organizations.

List of Examination Boards in the World

An examination board is an organisation that sets examinations and is responsible for marking them and distributing results. Examination boards have the power to award qualifications, such as SAT scores, to students. Most exam boards are run as not-for-profit organisations.

Examination boards in the United Kingdom

Examination boards in the United Kingdom (sometimes called awarding bodies or examining groups) are the examination boards responsible for setting and awarding secondary education level qualifications, such as GCSEs, Standard Grades, A Levels, Highers and vocational qualifications, to students in the United Kingdom.

Broadly speaking, the UK has (and has always had) two separate school systems: one for England, Wales and Northern Ireland and one for Scotland. As a result, two separate sets of exam boards have developed.

England, Wales and Northern Ireland
Unusually, England, Wales and Northern Ireland have several exam boards, with schools and colleges able to freely choose between them on a subject-by-subject basis. Currently, there are six exam boards available to state schools:

• AQA (Assessment and Qualifications Alliance)
• CIE (University of Cambridge International Examinations)
• CCEA (Council for the Curriculum, Examinations & Assessment)
• Edexcel
• OCR (Oxford, Cambridge and RSA Examinations)
• WJEC (Welsh Joint Education Committee)

Though the exam boards have regional roots, they are all nationwide, though the CCEA is not very active outside of its native Northern Ireland. Most offer a range of qualifications, though not all boards offer every qualification in every area (Edexcel, for example, offers a great deal of vocational qualifications, while the WJEC is the only board to offer A Level Film Studies). Schools and colleges have a completely free choice between the boards, depending on the qualification offered. Most schools use a mixture of boards for their GCSE qualifications, with a similar situation existing at A Level. (It is worth noting that a school using, say, OCR for GCSE History is perfectly free to pick a different board for A Level History.)

Scotland
There is just one exam board in Scotland, the SQA (Scottish Qualifications Authority), which offers all Scotland's qualifications.

Examination boards working together
The UK's examination boards sometimes work together. For example, they sometimes offer qualifications jointly or share training materials for common parts of specifications.

The JCQ (Joint Council for Qualifications) is a common voice for UK exam boards. The JCQ is made up of AQA, CCEA, City & Guilds, Edexcel, OCR, SQA and WJEC. Among its roles, it devises standard rules for exams and publishes statistics.

West African Examination Council (WAEC) exams

What is WAEC?
The West African Examinations Council (WAEC), established in 1952 by the then colonial Government(s) in the Gold Coast (now Ghana), Nigeria, Sierra-Leone and the Gambia, is with the responsibility of determining the examinations required in the public interest in West Africa, and empowered to conduct such examinations and award appropriate certificates. Liberia later joined the Council in 1974.

Tips for the student planning to study abroad

The decision to seek admission and study outside of one's place of upbringing can be a daunting one, and should not be taken lightly, because of the many issues to be taken into consideration.

Besides the obvious issue of tuition fees, which can be quite high in foreign schools where you immediately pay much higher than the local students because you are now a foreign student, there are also issues to consider.
