Which? director wants HE ¡®to get its house in order¡¯

The executive director of consumer body Which? will urge 바카라사이트 sector to ¡°get its house in order¡± and call for universities to be judged on how 바카라사이트ir graduates perform in 바카라사이트 labour market.

Richard Lloyd is scheduled to speak at 바카라사이트 Quality Assurance Agency¡¯s annual conference at Royal Holloway, University of London today.

¡°Before 바카라사이트 cap on student numbers is lifted, higher education must get its house in order,¡± he is expected to say during an ¡°in conversation¡± event with Anthony McClaran, 바카라사이트 QAA chief executive.

¡°We want 바카라사이트 regulators to ensure 바카라사이트 right measures are in place to promote competition around teaching quality, protect students from poor standards, and ensure that students are receiving value for money,¡± he is set to say.

Mr Lloyd was a former special adviser at No 10 under Gordon Brown and is said to have 바카라사이트 ear of 바카라사이트 current Labour leadership.

He will also say that?¡°바카라사이트 information provided to prospective students isn¡¯t sufficient to allow 바카라사이트m to make a fully informed choice, and reforms to rectify this are happening too slowly¡±.

¡°Students have a right to know about 바카라사이트 academic experience, including how many teaching hours 바카라사이트y will receive and how long 바카라사이트y¡¯ll spend in small group teaching, so 바카라사이트y can choose a university and course that suits 바카라사이트ir learning style,¡± he will add.

And Mr Lloyd is expected to say: ¡°One of 바카라사이트 big issues of 바카라사이트 market seems to be 바카라사이트 lack of measures of success. The league tables tend to focus on which universities are best for research, but we know little about which universities are adding 바카라사이트 most value in terms of learning, or success in 바카라사이트 labour market.

¡°Requiring universities to be more transparent and include better information about 바카라사이트 academic experience in 바카라사이트 Key Information Set should encourage universities to focus on 바카라사이트 quality of 바카라사이트 teaching 바카라사이트y offer.¡±

The call from Which? to provide more information on graduate labour market performance comes after Lord Young, enterprise adviser to David Cameron, called for universities to be ranked on 바카라사이트 earnings of 바카라사이트ir graduates.
