Date: September 13 - 2023

QAA has issued a statement on the House of Lords Industry and Regulators Committee’s report on the work of the Office for Students.

Read our full statement below.

‘We welcome the House of Lords Industry and Regulators Committee’s report on the work of the Office for Students, in particular its recommendations on international alignment and independent arrangements for the assessment of quality. This is critical to maintaining international confidence in English higher education and integral to the robust oversight of academic quality. We remain ready to engage in conversations to achieve this.

‘A new QAA report, published next week, will build on these principles and explore ways that policymakers can strengthen the English quality system to ensure it delivers current and future policy priorities.’
