The Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) has expressed disappointment at the English regulator’s plans to remove a question on overall student satisfaction from the nation’s biggest higher education survey.

Question 27 of the National Student Survey (NSS) will be omitted from future iterations of the exercise in England as part of a wide-ranging shake-up of the influential study, the Office for Students has confirmed after a consultation on its plans.

But QAA said it fears the move will put prospective students at a disadvantage because it is the only question that directly asks about the overall quality of courses.
