English quality model snubbed
Article Abstract:
Methods of assessing quality in United Kingdom colleges and universities have been criticised by vice chancellors from the Commonwealth of Nations, who argue it is cumbersome. The assessment is in two parts, the first linked to an academic audit body set up by vice chancellors, and the second linked to the Higher Education Funding Council. The division into these two parts is seen as complicating the procedure, and the model is not considered appropriate for export to other countries.
