Question
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the report by the Higher Education Academy recommending that United Kingdom universities should adopt the grade point average system.
This question was answered on 9th June 2015
The Higher Education Academy (HEA) report ‘Grade Point Average: Report of the GPA pilot project 2013-14’, published on 28 May 2015, was a result of a review undertaken by HEA’s national Grade Point Average Advisory Group. The Department has noted the report. However, higher education institutions with degree awarding powers are responsible for their own academic awards. It is a matter for institutions to consider the recommendation as independent and autonomous bodies.
