Over 200 student submissions have been received for the 2023 Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF). TEF manager, Ranjeet Dhinsa, and University of Portsmouth Education Officer and TEF student contact, Jade Underwood, reflect on the value of student engagement.
In the first year since we introduced the TEF student submission, we have received 204 student submissions from 228 participating universities and colleges. This represents an impressive 89 per cent participation rate for what is an optional process for students.
The TEF is a national scheme run by the OfS. Its objective is to encourage universities and colleges to deliver excellent teaching, learning and student outcomes for all their students. A panel of experts, including student members, assess and rate universities and colleges for excellence above the OfS’s minimum requirements on the quality of their courses and student outcomes.
