Nearly a third of colleges seeking a teaching excellence framework (TEF) rating this year have challenged their judgment.
The Office for Students today announced the results of the 2023 TEF, the first time the quality ratings have been release since 2019. Gold, silver, bronze or ‘requires improvement’ ratings are handed out based on an assessment of the quality of a provider’s higher education teaching.
Six of the 56 colleges who were part of this TEF round secured gold, while 22 achieved silver and 11 were given bronze.
But 17, almost a third, of colleges entering TEF have appealed their results, giving them a ‘pending’ outcome.
