Publication date: 16 Nov 2023
The future of quality in England
Higher education in England enjoys a world-leading reputation, thanks to the quality of its provision and student experience.
With the emerging opportunities presented by the Lifelong Loan Entitlement, the expansion of degree apprenticeships and the role of artificial intelligence, there is now an opportunity to reflect on on how to ensure the quality system in England is fit for the future.
In this policy series, we will publish blogs, deep dives and other resources to help policymakers understand the role they can play in strengthening the quality system to support institutions in meeting the needs of students, the economy and wider society in an evolving landscape.
