<p>Universities are autonomous institutions and it is for them to assess the impact
of the strike action on their provision. While the Department for Education has not
made its own assessment, we remain concerned about any impact of the strikes on students
and expect universities to put in place measures to maintain the quality of education
that students should receive.</p><p> </p><p>We note that the Universities and Colleges
Employers Association, which represents UK higher education organisations as employers,
polled the 56 universities, which were the focus of strikes on 22 and 23 February
2018. Results of this polling indicate that the overall impact in four out of five
institutions was between ‘none’ and ‘low-medium’.</p>
