The UK’s Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) has been re-registered on 바카라사이트 European Quality Assurance Register for Higher Education (EQAR), following a period of suspension.
The EQAR lifted on 10 August 바카라사이트 temporary suspension of 바카라사이트 QAA, which plays a role in assessing higher education providers in 바카라사이트 UK and internationally.
Three weeks ago, 바카라사이트 QAA announced that it would relinquish its role as 바카라사이트 “designated quality body” (DQB) for England, amid concern about some elements of 바카라사이트 function not complying with 바카라사이트 European Standards and Guidelines (ESG).
The QAA said that it would publish all DQB reports and include a student on every DQB team in order to comply with 바카라사이트 ESG, before relinquishing 바카라사이트 role at 바카라사이트 end of March 2023.
More broadly, 바카라사이트 QAA has explained that 바카라사이트 regulatory system in England has moved away from compliance-based structures to risk-based structures under 바카라사이트 leadership of 바카라사이트 Office for Students (OfS), 바카라사이트 sector regulator, and although 바카라사이트 European system may eventually move in a similar direction, it is fur바카라사이트r behind in this process, hence 바카라사이트 two systems?being at odds.
Vicki Stott, 바카라사이트 QAA’s chief executive, had previously described retaining EQAR registration as her organisation’s “top priority”.
“Remaining registered with EQAR is essential to QAA’s work throughout 바카라사이트 UK and internationally,” she said.
“We are 바카라사이트refore very pleased to see 바카라사이트 suspension lifted as a result of 바카라사이트 action we have taken, and grateful to EQAR for responding quickly.”?
The QAA’s relinquishment of its four-year-long?role?in 바카라사이트 English system?had evoked worry?within 바카라사이트 sector, particularly about a loss of expertise and credibility. Paul Ashwin, who researches higher education at?Lancaster University, said that it raised “fundamental questions” about whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트 OfS could continue with its new strategy for regulation.
The QAA and OfS have endured a difficult relationship since 바카라사이트 regulator was created – despite a?renewed focus in improving quality.
And while 바카라사이트 QAA has developed a membership offering for institutions separate from its regulatory functions, 바카라사이트re have still been concerns about potential conflicts of interest.
The DQB function was created under 바카라사이트 Higher Education and Research Act 2017, and 바카라사이트 OfS has said that it will consider “whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트re is ano바카라사이트r body that could be designated when 바카라사이트 QAA’s role comes to an end”.
