Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what discussions he has had with representatives from universities on his proposals for a subject-level version of the Teaching Excellence Framework.

The department has met regularly with university representatives about the development of the Teaching Excellence and Student Outcomes Framework (TEF) at subject level. Between 12 March and 21 May, we also undertook a technical consultation on subject-level TEF. This consultation provided an opportunity for all stakeholders, including universities and other higher education providers, to comment on the proposals for subject-level TEF both in writing and at consultation events.
