Review of the Higher Education Performance Indicators 2013

This work for the four UK higher education funding bodies saw IES undertake a fundamental review of the UK Higher Education Performance Indicators to assess whether they were still fit for purpose, given the great changes in nature of the HE population and provision since the Indicators were launched in 1999.

The research reviewed the policy drivers for the Higher Education Performance Indicators (PIs) and the usage and users of these PIs across the UK, in order to inform the future direction of the PIs. It involved tiered interviews with stakeholders, online consultations with current and potential users and deliberative group discussions.
