Why is it necessary to have a set of bona fide criteria to assess how private education institutions should operate?
Unlike publicly funded institutions of further or higher education, which are regularly inspected for the standard of education they provide, there are no statutory controls over private education institutions, although some institutions are accredited by such organisations as, for example, the British Council, the British Accreditation Council and the Association of British Language Schools. There are a number of unaccredited private institutions on the current Register of Education and Training Providers and these criteria helps our Compliance Officers take action against those less reputable institutions who are more concerned about taking student fees than providing them with an education. The initial set of published criteria incorporates a list of best practice requirements to which a number of additions and amendments have now been made in order to make them more useful for our Compliance Officers when assessing a private education institution.
