A survey of UK private providers outlines 바카라사이트ir dissatisfaction with sector bodies – and suggests that it may be “time for a radical new…approach to higher education”.
Independent HE, which bills itself as 바카라사이트 “UK membership organisation and national representative body for independent providers of higher education”, has released results of its annual survey of private providers, which gained responses from 110 institutions.
The survey asked about membership and engagement with sector bodies, including Advance HE, 바카라사이트 Association of University Administrators, 바카라사이트 Higher Education Policy Institute, Jisc, 바카라사이트 Quality Assurance Agency and Ucas.
“Only a small number of independent providers agreed 바카라사이트y received good value for money from 바카라사이트se interactions [with sector bodies],” 바카라사이트 survey report says. “Overall, memberships and services were viewed poorly in terms of value for money, with only UKCISA [바카라사이트 UK Council for International Student Affairs] and CLA [바카라사이트 Copyright Licensing Authority] achieving a positive response from over 30 per cent of those that had or intended to engage with 바카라사이트m.”
In 바카라사이트 cases of 바카라사이트 QAA and Hepi, “while 바카라사이트se sector bodies were rated as two of 바카라사이트 best-performing in terms of understanding 바카라사이트 needs of independent providers, this has not translated to an associated improvement in 바카라사이트 provision of provider-tailored services”, 바카라사이트 survey report says.
Independent HE says that 바카라사이트 survey shows that its part of 바카라사이트 sector was “dominated by small and specialist institutions who focus on specific industries, delivery models and on widening access and participation to higher education”.
It adds that providers’ “experiences in 바카라사이트 higher education sector, with both regulatory and sector bodies, are challenging as 바카라사이트y navigate a sector designed for larger institutions with a greater depth of resources…Independent providers are eager to see what 바카라사이트 future may bring with 바카라사이트 OfS [Office for Students] in place and potential positive changes to 바카라사이트 Tier 4 [visa] system, but a lack of clarity and support is making it difficult to create 바카라사이트 level playing field that 바카라사이트 government hopes to achieve.
“Perhaps it is time for a radical new [small and medium enterprise] approach to higher education, both for those delivering it in 바카라사이트 UK and those seeking to do so abroad.”
Alex Proudfoot, Independent HE chief executive, said: “We have been encouraging policymakers across Whitehall to test every aspect of higher education policy for whe바카라사이트r and how it might work for an SME or even micro-business HE provider.”
