On Friday 1st September, Dave and I spent the day at NUS HQ in London discussing the NUS response to the Research Assesment Exercise (RAE) consultation. The consultation proposes changes to the way research is funded, this of course will have affects not only on research but teaching and learning. Reading is in the top 20 most research powerful universities in the UK, so it was great for us to be feeding directly in to the National Students Union response.
Discussing education policy doesnt sound the most thrilling way to spend a day in London, but the more you look in to it, and begin to understand it the more interesting it becomes.
We will be following this one and keep you posted.
