QAA response to SNC announcement
Responding to the Chancellor's announcement that student number controls in England will be lifted from 2015-16, Anthony McClaran, Chief Executive of the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA), said:
'Lifting the cap on student numbers presents universities and colleges with an unprecedented opportunity. Additional places will allow many more people to benefit from higher education.
'The priority for providers must be to offer the best possible experience for students. The Government has made it clear: providers cannot expand at the expense of quality. I am pleased that the Autumn Statement makes a commitment to protect academic standards, the experience of students and the quality of provision.'

The Autumn Statement 2013
'The higher education sector has an internationally excellent reputation for quality. The government will continue to closely monitor quality of provision across the sector and reserves the right to reimpose number controls on institutions that expand their student numbers at the expense of quality.'
