Question to the Department for Education:

What steps he is taking to improve the information available to prospective students on the costs and benefits of higher education.

The Department is working to make information, advice and guidance on higher education options more accessible to prospective students.

We are running an Open Data Competition to support development of innovative online platforms to provide information on graduate outcomes. We have introduced the Teaching Excellence and Student Outcomes Framework to help students identify excellent teaching and best graduate outcomes. The Student Loans Company (SLC) also regularly reviews and updates student finance information based on feedback from students.
