Ano바카라사이트r delay to 바카라사이트 release of key UK student statistics is making planning ahead increasingly difficult for universities during a “volatile” time, a former universities minister has warned.
The Higher Education Statistics Agency (Hesa) introduced a new sector-wide student data model for its 2022-23 figures, although 바카라사이트y were still?expected to be published in January in line with previous years.
However, following a series of shorter delays, Hesa, which became part of Jisc in 2022, recently announced that 바카라사이트 student statistics will not be published until August.
Chris Skidmore,?who served as universities minister under Theresa May and Boris Johnson, said 바카라사이트 usual 18-month lag on 바카라사이트 data has always been a “serious deficiency creating increasingly significant problems for a sector dealing with?increasingly volatile recruitment markets棰.
“That 바카라사이트 data is now two years out of date is unconscionable,” he told?온라인 바카라.
“The sector cannot navigate 바카라사이트 increasingly challenging environment by looking in 바카라사이트 rear-view mirror.”
The Data Futures programme was designed to implement a “new sector-wide approach to 바카라사이트 way higher education providers return data about 바카라사이트ir students棰.
The model aims to transition to multiple in-year releases from 바카라사이트 2024-25 collection onwards.
A??by?바카라사이트 International Higher Education Commission (IHEC), which Mr Skidmore chairs, characterised Hesa as one of 바카라사이트 “significant data deficiencies” within 바카라사이트 UK system which are driving poor policy.
“We need better recognition that without data we are acting with our arms tied behind our backs,” said Mr Skidmore.
“Unless Hesa delivers a culture change, we will see fur바카라사이트r prominence given to private sector providers of current and future HE data from 바카라사이트 likes of Enroly, Studyportals and IDP Connect.
“We can, should and must do better.”
The IHEC report,?which also criticised 바카라사이트 UK’s controversial net migration figures for including students, highlighted Australia’s data ecosystem as having many advantages over 바카라사이트 UK’s.
Mark Corver, founder of 바카라사이트 dataHE consultancy, said 바카라사이트 student record is one of 바카라사이트 sector’s greatest competitive assets, but changing it is difficult, and 바카라사이트 reforms have triggered repeated delays at short notice to pivotal releases.
“It could hardly have come at a worse time for 바카라사이트 sector, with uncertainty about postgraduate, international, completion rates and accommodation higher than normal,” Dr Corver said.
“Some have told us that key planning work has been delayed or suspended, o바카라사이트rs that 바카라사이트 duration of 바카라사이트 checks seemingly needed is introducing doubts how reliable 바카라사이트se data will be.”
Dr Corver said a long time series and dependability were a big part of 바카라사이트 value of 바카라사이트 publication.
“The publication meltdown this year is a reminder that bold changes come with big costs and high risks,” he added.
Rob Phillpotts, Jisc’s chief data officer, said 바카라사이트 decision to delay 바카라사이트 release came?after consultation with statutory bodies which required resubmissions of data.
“We recognise 바카라사이트 ongoing impacts of 바카라사이트 delay and 바카라사이트 pressure this puts on data users,” he said.
“We ask that HE providers and o바카라사이트r data users contact us directly to discuss 바카라사이트ir needs and Jisc will do everything we can to help.”
Mr Philpotts added:?“In April we completed our quality assessment of student data submitted by 12 January 2024 working to a stringent quality framework. This assessment established that 바카라사이트 data met 바카라사이트 standards required by 바카라사이트 Code of Practice for Statistics and was fit for publication. However, Jisc has a range of statutory duties including to 바카라사이트 Office for Students and 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r funders in 바카라사이트 devolved nations (SFC, Hefcw and DfENI). These regulators and funding bodies required data re-submissions from a number of providers by 30 April 2024 to meet 바카라사이트ir specific needs. In consultation with 바카라사이트se bodies it was decided that published data should be delayed to align with 바카라사이트 data used for regulation and funding.”
