The Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) has been introduced as a mechanism for raising the esteem of teaching, informing student choice, and enhancing competition across the sector.
Participating providers will be awarded a TEF classification in May 2017, ahead of the 2018 entry cycle. In addition, TEF ratings at subject-level will be trialled for the 2019 entry cycle, with roll-out anticipated for 2020.
We're currently engaging with all our customers to inform our position regarding TEF. Therefore, we are inviting all of our providers to participate in a webinar from 11:00 until 12:00 on Thursday 9 March.
During the webinar, we’ll discuss:
- a brief background to TEF
- the role of TEF as a student information tool
- the extent to which UCAS may wish to use TEF
