It also claimed that the change was intended to allow students to be able to access the best school for their needs no matter what region they reside in.

Reeves notes that some schools unable or unwilling to meet the standards of traditional, regional accrediting bodies are closely involved in creating national accrediting agencies with significantly lower standards. 2378:(ACTA) argued that the system does not ensure or protect educational quality, while still imposing significant costs.
