The Quality in Higher Education Group is jointly secretaried by Universities UK, GuildHE, HEFCE and DELNI. It is Chaired by Professor Philip Jones, Vice-Chancellor of Sheffield Hallam University.
Its aim is to promote a quality assurance system for higher education in England and Northern Ireland which is accountable, rigorous, transparent, flexible, responsive, enhancement-led and public facing. Its members are drawn from universities, students, an FE college, a secondary school head teacher and the Royal Academy of Engineering. In addition, both the Chair and the Chief Executive of the QAA are members, as is the Chief Executive of the HE Academy.
The Group held its first two meetings on Thursday 25 February 2010 and Friday 26 March. It is scheduled to meet again on Thursday 16 September and Monday 6 December.
