UK Universities rated on Tuition Quality by Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF)
The Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) is a quality-regulating initiative in the United Kingdom aimed at evaluating Higher Education in the country and with this chassis, they are able to sustain the discrete standards of instruction at the undergraduate level across universities and colleges in the UK. TEF does so by allotting each institute one of the four component ratings, i.e. Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Provisional based on the institutes’ stats of performance.

What
does each class of TEF Ratings denote?
TEF Ratings are based on three main divisions each of which
corresponds to a certain level of teaching quality along with a Provision
Category that has enlisted the institutes with insufficient assessment data.
Here is what each division means:
Ø Gold means outstanding
Ø Silver stands for high quality
Ø Bronze represents satisfactory
Ø Provisional
means that the university or college is included in
the TEF but does not yield enough stats to be fully assessed over the set
standards
This means that universities with a gold rating have achieved
significantly and scored exceptionally enough to raise the bars sky-high! On
the contrary, a silver or bronze rating tells us that the university hasn’t
been able to employ one or more of the vital scholastic practices to mark its
distinction in higher education.
TEF ratings are decided by a judgement panel considering
academic standards relating to the quality of methodologies and instructions
provided in the learning environment, and their outcomes comprising both qualitatively
and quantitatively. Although numerous criterions
are considered while assessing the quality of higher education, the ratings
mainly depend on:
·
The design
and assessment of programs and courses
·
The time
duration of student-teacher interaction
·
How much
academically stretched and challenged are students
·
How knowledgeable
are students upon course completion, and;
·
Institutional
records such as drop-out rates, student satisfaction, student to faculty ratio,
and graduate employability rate.
TEF ratings gives us a concise insight into the institutional
rating of each university and college along with a summary that reasons the
category it has been awarded. You may also compare these ratings with the rankings
on the main league tables to make convincing comparisons and to make conclusive
decisions.
