Examinations regulator praises straight talking universities

4 February 2011

The examinations and qualifications regulator, Ofqual, has praised the Russell Group of Universities for publishing a new guide to post-16 education, Informed Choices.

Ofqual chief executive, Isabel Nisbet, said: "In December I challenged the Higher Education sector to give applicants better information about which qualifications they need to win a place at university. Students are not clairvoyants. They need clear information on which qualifications they need for their chosen university courses so they can make informed decisions.

"Today's report from the Russell Group is an excellent step in the right direction."
