Education and Skills written question – answered at on 16 February 2006.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if she will make a statement on the provision of key skills training in universities.
Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are autonomous organisations and are therefore responsible for assuring the quality and standards of their own provision. However, there are a number of national measures in place to assist institutions in maintaining and continually improving standards, and to safeguard the public interest in sound quality and standards in higher education. These measures include the Quality Assurance Agency for higher education (QAA) and the Higher Education Academy, a sector owned body, set up to enhance teaching and learning in universities and colleges.
