The TEF (Teaching Excellence Framework) is now in its third year but still has some way to go before suspicion around its methodology and benefits subsides. Last year, the Westminster government announced plans to evolve the scheme to include a detailed assessment of universities' performance in 34 specific subject areas, evaluating them on student satisfaction and retention as well as graduate employment. Now policymakers are being asked to reconsider, following a warning from vice-chancellors that such detailed testing of subjects could push the cost of the exercise to the sector up to an eye-watering £37.6 million each time. They argue that increased cost to universities and taxpayers, alongside problematic methodology overall, "risk undermining the subject's purpose". (Fonte: A. McKie, THE 25-02-19)
