Scandal of postgrad army
Article Abstract:
The higher education research assessment exercise ranks higher education establishments according to whether they focus on research or teaching. Those which rate highly for their research work receive additional funding, while those which concentrate more on teaching are penalised. In this way, no encouragement is given to improving teaching standards. It is vital to reward institutions for excellence in all areas, not just in research.

Others include restructuring of the research and teaching quality assessment schemes; and also obliging the promotion of quality teachers. Brian Fender recently called for a national debate on the subject, for which he has been praised, although it is questioned why it has taken him so long.
