Have your say on the biggest changes to Higher Education since 1992!

The ‘Teaching Excellence Framework’ (TEF)

The government has announced that it wishes to implement a ‘Teaching Excellence Framework’ to try and drive up the quality of teaching in English Higher Education (HE) institutions. They have also announced that those institutions deemed excellent by the framework will be allowed to raise their tuition fees in line with inflation.

The name of this measure is inspired by the Research Excellence Framework (REF), a system for assessing the ‘quality’ of research in UK HE institutions, which is used by public research funding bodies to inform how to allocate grants. The National Union of Students (NUS) completely opposes any attempt to further raise tuition fees, and believes that students have a right to excellent education, no matter where they choose to study.
