Many universities could face sanctions for missing OfS thresholds

What utter rubbish! Does OfS not even understand what a university education is about? The sooner their crass thinking is removed from the higher education landscape the better.

Every year I see lots of students who do not take summative assessments, despite the early and clear publication of assessment deadlines, and reminders from tutors, module leaders, administrators and so on. How on earth are staff supposed to force students to take assessments in order to progress to the next year? OFS has lost the plot this time.

OFS has lost the plot this time. Lost it? They never had it in the first place it seems ;)
