![]() ![]() Several of these institutions performed less well than they might have hoped in TEF2, and it is hardly donning a tin-foil hat to suggest that this change may well have been put in place to improve their reported performance. There’s a clear benefit to the TEF performance of universities that have a history of poor NSS results, and of graduates getting good jobs. You can download the diagram as an image here or as a pdf here. Each NSS metric – there are three – is now worth half that of the other three metrics, which use data from the Destination of Leavers in Higher Education (DLHE) survey and a HESA/ILR data on non-completion. The change in the weighting of the National Student Survey components mean that, ironically, the voice of those being taught is substantially weaker this time around. The guts of TEF2 are there under the new frills, and we are still using the same sources to assess the same things, but has the competition changed to the extent that it no longer comparable with the previous iteration? TEF3 ( The TEaSOF Mix) stands somewhere in the middle of this – with new and modish nods to contemporary concerns like grade inflation and whatever it is we are currently pretending LEO tells us – but is still struggling to win mass affection and chart success. In music the idea of a “remix” can cover a multitude of sins – everything from the regular song with more cowbell and an extra chorus, through the guts of the vocal backed by the fashionable beat and bass of the day, all the way up to an entirely new (and often preferable) recording which somehow has the same name despite sharing none of the same components. ![]()
