Publication of ‘Review of the effectiveness and efficiency of HEFCE'
An independent review of HEFCE has concluded that HEFCE is a high-performing organisation that has the confidence of the higher education sector and the Government.
The Independent Review Group, chaired by Dame Sandra Burslem, was informed by research carried out by Oakleigh Consulting. This involved consultation with over 200 representatives from 47 higher education providers and 30 other organisations, resulting in the publication of a report ‘Review of the effectiveness and efficiency of HEFCE’ (HEFCE 2010/07) and the Review Group’s own commentary.
The review group has endorsed Oakleigh’s findings, which concluded that HEFCE provides good value for money to the taxpayer. HEFCE was found to be efficient both in the use of its own resources and in the processes it administers for funding universities and colleges. HEFCE was also effective in delivering its core functions.
The review also identifies significant challenges that we and universities and colleges face in the future and we shall be considering carefully the recommendations in the report and commentary.
