I'm not a fan of that, it's adds huge drag to any change. Want to add a module on deep learning that you also want to test? Now it needs to be added by a country-wide exam board. Want to add something on cognitive neuroscience to the standard "AI" degree? Only if everyone can teach it. Given how regularly things are messed up by the boards on simple GSCE level questions covering far fewer subjects, I'd not like to have that applied across everyone.

I'd be interested to know how much variation there really is, when visiting universities with my children the options looked remarkably similar. There might be some drag on creating new courses but there could be huge savings as well. One thing I'm sure is the academic community wouldn't like it, it would need to be forced on them.
