Iwas delivering some training at a students’ union the other day, when one of the questions that came up about the Office for Students’ proposals for the National Student Survey (NSS), its B3 outcomes assessments and the new Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) exercise was about “belonging”.
“You say that getting the second year has a lot to do with belonging”, started the question. “But does belonging have anything to do with B3 or the TEF?”
If only, I thought, the answer to that question was simple. But it never is, is it?
