Council for National Academic Awards
(重定向自CNAA)
The Council for National Academic Awards (CNAA) was a degree-awarding authority in the United Kingdom from 1965 until its dissolution on April 20, 1993.
The establishment followed the recommendation of the Committee on Higher Education (Robbins Committee), which recommended amongst other things that the diploma awarding National Council for Technological Awards be replaced with a degree awarding council. Colleges now had more flexibility as they could devise their own courses with the oversight of the council rather than depend on existing universities to accredit courses. In 1974 the National Council for Diplomas in Art and Design was merged into the CNAA
