Life in the UK Test 36
Which of the following public services can be controlled by the devolved administrations?
Correct Answer: Education
Education is one of the key areas controlled by the devolved administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Each nation has its own education system, curriculum and qualifications framework, which is why school structures and university tuition fees differ across the UK.
By contrast, defence, immigration and foreign affairs remain the responsibility of the UK Parliament at Westminster — these are "reserved matters" not devolved to the national administrations.
