V-cs oppose quality report
Article Abstract:
The UK Joint Planning Group (JPG) has been criticised for not producing a solution to the issue of quality in higher education in an interim report issued in April 1996. Many vice-chancellors see an increased burden for universities and colleges. The Higher Education Funding Council for England, and the Higher Education Quality Council have both been developing more streamlined systems of quality assurance. Higher education heads are concerned that they will have little say in details of the JPG's proposals.
