Quality Enhancement

Institutions in the HE sector face a growing challenge to develop and adapt their provision to support mass higher education in the 21st century, and to allow greater flexibility for today's large and diverse student body. Moreover, the fast pace of change in the external environment - technological, political, social and economic - has an increasing impact on the structure and role of higher education.

The Quality Enhancement Themes Steering Committee for Flexible Delivery has sought to help institutions address these challenges and the needs of a mass HE system, to meet demands from students for a more learner-centred approach, and to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the Scottish HE sector in taking forward the learner-centred agenda.
