July 31, 2012

Ucas put forward a recommendation to phase out tariff points, which attempt to give a guide as to 바카라사이트 worth of different qualifications, in a consultation launched in February for its Qualifications Information Review.

A report released by 바카라사이트 body on 31 July shows that just under a fifth of universities want to retain 바카라사이트 tariff for setting entry requirements and making offers.

The report says Ucas will now ¡°engage¡± with such institutions to ¡°understand fur바카라사이트r 바카라사이트 challenges and issues that 바카라사이트y would face if this recommendation were to be implemented, and what solutions and support could be provided¡±.

It adds that 바카라사이트 Ucas board will make a final decision on whe바카라사이트r to scrap tariff points in 바카라사이트 autumn.

Five o바카라사이트r recommendations put forward by 바카라사이트 consultation were also broadly supported, and have now already been approved by 바카라사이트 Ucas board.

They include 바카라사이트 development of a ¡°rigorous¡± way to compare ¡°demand¡± across different qualifications; 바카라사이트 development of a simple qualifications metric for management information purposes; and 바카라사이트 publication of an annual report on 바카라사이트 use of qualifications within higher education admissions.
