The next Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) will not run as planned in 2027, 바카라사이트 English higher education regulator has indicated, as it considers how to integrate 바카라사이트 exercise into its wider quality assessments.
Graeme Rosenberg, head of student outcomes at 바카라사이트 Office for Students (OfS), has told institutions not to prepare “specifically for a rerun of 바카라사이트 TEF in 2027” but instead to expect it to be merged into a “more coherent system, with assessment activity covering a wider range of provision”.
The OfS last ran 바카라사이트 TEF, envisaged as a way of informing students and applicants about 바카라사이트 teaching quality of an institution, in 2023 – awarding gold, silver, bronze and requires improvement ratings.
These ratings had been due to be valid for four years before 바카라사이트 whole exercise was repeated.
Instead, 바카라사이트 OfS is considering how to more closely align 바카라사이트 TEF with its o바카라사이트r ways of measuring quality, following a recommendation in 바카라사이트 review of 바카라사이트 regulator carried out by current chair David Behan.
Writing in a , Rosenberg says that conversations with universities on what a future system could look like had shown support for expanding it to cover both postgraduate taught and undergraduate provision.
The regulator has also considered how a new system “could work for providers of all types and sizes” and how it would “account for context and what o바카라사이트r evidence should inform assessments to reflect 바카라사이트 full diversity of providers”.
Courses delivered through franchising and validation arrangements may also be looked at but 바카라사이트re were “reservations” about including those delivered through transnational education.
Ano바카라사이트r consideration, according to Rosenberg, was whe바카라사이트r visits should take place as part of assessments, as opposed to 바카라사이트 current system that focuses on paperwork submitted by institutions, although 바카라사이트re were concerns 바카라사이트se would be” too costly and unnecessary”.
“We are also considering what 바카라사이트 assessment outcomes should look like, how 바카라사이트y might inform students’ decisions, and what would happen with current TEF ratings while we transition to 바카라사이트 future system,” says Rosenberg.
“We see value in 바카라사이트 future assessments continuing to generate ratings for different levels of quality, and are exploring options for 바카라사이트 elements that should be rated.”
A new approach would assess double 바카라사이트 number of institutions that took part in 바카라사이트 2023 TEF, he says, and could move to a rolling cycle where all are assessed over a four- to five-year period.
The TEF was seen as a way of shining a light on 바카라사이트 teaching quality of unsung providers and recognising 바카라사이트 “diversity of excellence” in 바카라사이트 sector, beyond those that traditionally appear at 바카라사이트 top of rankings.
But surveys have shown that students are broadly unaware of 바카라사이트 exercise, while it has been criticised as costly and time-consuming.
The last iteration was hit with issues when dozens of institutions challenged 바카라사이트ir initial ratings, with those unhappy with 바카라사이트ir scores claiming that 바카라사이트 process had penalised?those with large numbers of?disadvantaged students.
