Description

Quality assurance has become a major issue in UK higher education since 1992. This book provides an analytical account of the changes to quality assurance from 1992 to 2003, documenting the shift towards increased state involvement and examining the debate about its purposes, forms, and ownership. The text covers key developments and issues in quality assurance, including the evolution of the post-1992 regime, the role of the Higher Education Quality Council, changes to assessment, and the formation of the Quality Assurance Agency. Roger Brown's expertise in quality assurance is drawn upon to assess the conditions required for effective regulation, arguing that the external quality regime has provided poor value for money. Brown draws on his experience to provide a comprehensive analysis of the UK's quality assurance system during this period, making this book a valuable resource for those interested in higher education policy and reform.
