How about an agency that creates tests covering all materials and difficulty
to test students understanding of several areas. Each school submits all
subjects being taught (not material) and then the students will be tested on
those subjects ranging all difficulties of the subjects. The results would
then be compiled and compared with other schools. The schools would credit
the student (thus verifying the students abilities to employers and the rest
of society) and the agency would rate the schools.
