Sector leaders predict TEF will be scaled down and pushed back

The TEF as a whole requires a 'cost-benefit analysis' - the amount of time & effort spent by universities is disproportionate to the return, and going down to subject level is only going to make this worse.

Thank god for any attempt to descale and eliminate this nonsense its silly bronze, silver gold awards are almost meaningless and mislead students. Some of the worst universities have gold and the best bronze it is completely useless. Talk about a bureaucratic waste of time and money !
