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.
