This blog was kindly authored for HEPI by Dr Helena Lim , Head of Opportunities at evasys. The 2023 Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) outcomes were announced on 28 September 2023, figure 1. At that time, just over 20 per cent of provider ratings were still ‘pending’ as they were being finalised by the TEF panel.

This blog was kindly authored for HEPI by Professor Roger Brown, former Vice-Chancellor of Solent University. By contrast, the universities were not subject to any external regulation except where some of their vocational courses were subject to professional body accreditation (which included HMI for teacher training).

There are currently 53 institutions of higher education whose TEF results are marked as “pending” on the official OfS website. It’s a reasonable assumption that many of these have been (provisionally) given “Requires Improvement” status. The TEF guidelines are very clear. Except they shouldn’t be.

This HEPI blog was kindly authored by Professor Helen Laville , Provost at Kingston University , and is part of a series of HEPI / NCEE blogs on entrepreneurial leadership. In the interests of sharing good practice, I asked one Head of School if they could share the reasons for their notable successes.

It was the first time I’d been to London since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. SRHE put together two panels of highly experienced policy makers and academics – some having experience of both – described more than once as gamekeepers turned poachers. Policy levers mentioned were access, REF, TEF and system wide changes.

Context Over the past three decades, since the Further and Higher Education Act (1992) there has been a considerable expansion of the higher education sector in England, with a categorisation of ‘recruiters’ and ‘selectors’ emerging. In 2015/16, the cap on the number of undergraduate students that could be recruited was removed.

This blog was kindly authored for HEPI by John Raftery, Principal of John Raftery and Associates and former Vice-Chancellor at the University of Wolverhampton and London Metropolitan University. That’s a group of institutions and voters one would have thought the politicians would want to cherish not criticize!
