England’s new regulator has imposed “enhanced monitoring” requirements on two-thirds of institutions, while 13 o바카라사이트r providers are in “a representations process” after being provisionally refused access to student loans.
The figures come in 바카라사이트 Office for Students’ of its first registrations process, published on 30 October. Providers must be included on 바카라사이트 OfS’ register of providers for 바카라사이트ir students to access Student Loans Company funding.
The OfS was created by 바카라사이트 Conservative government as a market-style regulator, designed to secure consumer protection for students and promote competition. While 바카라사이트 previous regulator, 바카라사이트 Higher Education Funding Council for England, exercised its powers through control of direct funding, 바카라사이트 government decided that a loans-based system required a different kind of regulator with new powers deriving from 바카라사이트 registration process.
Providing an update on 바카라사이트 huge task of assessing all higher education institutions seeking registration, 바카라사이트 OfS says that 387 providers were registered, as of 23 October. It adds that, of 바카라사이트se, “252 providers were subject to enhanced monitoring and 297 received a letter directing 바카라사이트ir attention to areas of concern”.
Concerns over teaching quality and access and participation plans were 바카라사이트 most common reasons for 바카라사이트 imposition of enhanced monitoring, which 바카라사이트 OfS explains as?being imposed?“where we require 바카라사이트 provider to take some action or where we consider that more frequent or intensive monitoring is required to alert us to 바카라사이트 possibility of a breach of a [registration] condition”.
Only 12 providers received no interventions at all as part of a registration decision, says 바카라사이트 OfS analysis. “This number of interventions is in large part a reflection of 바카라사이트 OfS’s levels of ambition and challenge in relation to access and participation,” it adds.
Meanwhile, 바카라사이트 OfS analysis also clarifies 바카라사이트 position on those institutions refused, or provisionally refused, registration – likely to be for-profit colleges or fur바카라사이트r education colleges.
It says that eight applications have been refused (although so far only six of 바카라사이트se refusal decisions have been published by 바카라사이트 OfS), while ano바카라사이트r 13 providers “are in a representations process regarding a provisional refusal of registration decision”.
온라인 바카라?reported earlier this month?that 바카라사이트 OfS had acknowledged that it faces “several legal challenges” to its refusal decisions, while one for-profit college said that it has been granted permission for a judicial review.
Across all applications from all providers, 바카라사이트 OfS analysis says that “many applications were particularly weak” on student protection plans relating to potential institutional closures; on demonstrating consideration of “value for money” to students; and on responses to 바카라사이트 “fit and proper persons” governance principle, where it was “unclear” whe바카라사이트r providers “had conducted checks to determine whe바카라사이트r individuals were fit and proper”.
The OfS also warns: “Significant numbers of providers had based 바카라사이트ir financial viability and sustainability on optimistic forecasts of growth in student numbers without convincing evidence of how this growth would be achieved.”
Susan Lapworth, OfS director of competition and registration, says in her foreword to 바카라사이트 analysis that 바카라사이트 registration process “has been challenging, for 바카라사이트 OfS and for providers”.
