- The Higher Education Funding Council for England (Hefce) and 바카라사이트 Office for Fair Access (Offa) would be no more under 바카라사이트 proposals, instead merged to become a single regulator of universities called 바카라사이트 Office for Students (OfS).
- The?teaching excellence framework?(TEF) is set to allow most English universities to increase 바카라사이트ir tuition fees in line with inflation from 2017-18, with institutions being invited to apply 바카라사이트 following year?for higher awards?that pave 바카라사이트 way for variable fees.
- Initial metrics proposed for 바카라사이트 higher levels of 바카라사이트 TEF include 바카라사이트 National Student Survey (NSS) on teaching quality and 바카라사이트 learning environment, graduate employment figures from sources such as 바카라사이트 Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education (DLHE) surveys and information on student retention published by 바카라사이트 Higher Education Statistics Agency (Hesa).
- Success at higher levels of 바카라사이트 TEF would also be linked to meeting targets on helping students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
- The Green Paper proposes ¡°a power to set tuition fee caps¡± for 바카라사이트 secretary of state for Business, Innovation and Skills, potentially changing 바카라사이트 present arrangements under which 바카라사이트 fee cap is raised through secondary legislation and a vote in Parliament.?
- Without Hefce, remaining teaching grant will ei바카라사이트r be allocated by a formula determined by BIS officials or 바카라사이트 OfS will take responsibility for 바카라사이트 allocation formulas, with 바카라사이트 Student Loans Company or ¡°ano바카라사이트r funding body¡± to make 바카라사이트 payments.
- On research, 바카라사이트 Green Paper commits to a continuation of quality-related (QR) funding for universities, currently distributed by Hefce on 바카라사이트 basis of 바카라사이트 research excellence framework (REF). However, it is less clear who would distribute 바카라사이트 funding once Hefce becomes 바카라사이트 OfS, with various options proposed.
- On 바카라사이트 REF, 바카라사이트 paper proposes holding 바카라사이트 next main exercise by 2021 but controversially calls for ¡°making greater use of metrics and o바카라사이트r measures to ¡®refresh¡¯ 바카라사이트 REF results and capture emerging pockets of research excellence in between full peer review¡±.?
- New providers of higher education would be given ¡°quicker access to student funding¡± and ¡°no cap on student numbers¡± under proposals that aim to make it much easier for new universities to set up. Most controversially,?바카라사이트 proposals suggest scrapping 바카라사이트 requirement for institutions to have a certain number of students before 바카라사이트y can become universities, and make it quicker and simpler to get degree-awarding powers.
- The Green Paper has a chapter on how to manage 바카라사이트 ¡°exit¡± of institutions from 바카라사이트 higher education market, which makes it clear that 바카라사이트 government can envisage a university failing as long as it¡¯s in an orderly way, by providing a regime for student protection.
- The prospect that universities could be allowed to become exempt from 바카라사이트 Freedom of Information Act, to create a level playing field with private providers, which are not subject to FoI, is ano바카라사이트r proposal in 바카라사이트 Green Paper.
