Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF)

The Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) is a system in the UK that assesses and recognizes the quality of teaching in higher education institutions. It evaluates universities based on their students' experiences, learning outcomes, and overall teaching practices. The framework aims to improve teaching standards and inform prospective students about the quality of education they can expect. Institutions receive ratings that range from gold to bronze, helping students make informed choices about where to study. Ultimately, TEF promotes a commitment to teaching excellence in universities.
