​Universities from across the United Kingdom (UK) have agreed new principles to tackle grade inflation, reconfirming the sector’s strong collective commitment to protect the value of qualifications.

 

This fresh commitment, published today by Universities UK and GuildHE [Tuesday 21 July 2020] on behalf of the UK Standing Committee for Quality Assessment (UKSCQA), outlines six new guiding principles as well as recommendations for universities when deciding the final degree classifications awarded to students.
