Internationalisation of education standards is a beneficial and inevitable trend. To lead in this trend, we need to provide the script and allow the world to dot the Is and cross the Ts.
The UK Professional Standards Framework (UKPSF) is currently being reviewed to accommodate changes in higher education since the last update over a decade ago.
Julie Baldry Currens, a consultant at AdvanceHE and accreditor for the UKPSF since 2011, cited “internationalisation and globalisation” as one of the five focuses for this review. Alex Bols, deputy chief executive of GuildHE who is in charge of a number of policy areas including quality assurance, described the goal of transforming UKPSF towards a more globally generalisable framework as a move toward “a PSF for HE all around the world”.
