Leak reveals quality 'A' team

Article Abstract:

The UK Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) is planning to introduce new rules concerning the quality of education received by foreign students. The QAA plans to challenge the right of university colleges to award degrees in areas they do not specialize, particularly in overseas operations. The leaked QAA report also included proposals to introduce academic reviewers who will judge the quality of work carried out by external examiners of degree courses. The QAA also plans to establish benchmarks, for each subject, of the minimum quality of work expected from a university student.
