Teaching excellence framework (TEF): higher education sector reaction

The TEF is a stupid exercise as it makes some third rate institutions seem better than they are by giving them meaningless gold medals when they should in fact be closed. Other instititutions are given a bronze when they should be given a gold simply because they are prepared to fail useless students and teach to a demanding level that will breed the new scientists, engineers, medics and other top professionals of tomorrow. The TEF was designed by third rate bureaucrats to boost third rate institutions from where they probably did their studies.
