<p>We have a world-class higher education system and the Higher Education and Research
Act 2017 sets the foundation for further improvements to the system. We have established
the Office for Students to operate a new register of providers and ensure minimum
standards. We have also enacted the Teaching Excellence and Student Outcomes Framework
(TEF) to hold universities to account for the teaching and outcomes they deliver for
students, and are encouraging further diversity within the system with new providers
and shorter degrees delivered at a lower cost to students.</p><p>These important achievements
are being built on with the post-18 review of education and funding looking further
at how we can ensure our post-18 education system is joined up and supported by a
funding system that works for students and taxpayers.</p>
