The Department
for Business, Innovation and Skills will launch a consultation on
details of the regulatory system for future of higher education
today, following publication of the higher education white paper
‘Putting students at the heart of the system.’
All students receiving state support should be able to expect the
same minimum guarantees on for example quality and access, within
a single simpler regulatory framework. The system needs to be
proportionate for the sector as a whole. It will look to reduce
unnecessary bureaucracy through risk based approaches, simplified
processes and more reasonable requirements including on data.
