Review of Teaching

8 December 2023

The General Board and the Colleges’ Committee have commissioned a Review of Teaching. The Review will be concerned primarily with two areas: student workload and its impact on mental health and wellbeing, and the supervision system (in particular the available resources for supervision, both personnel and financial, and how these relate to the quality of educational provision).

The review will be overseen by a Task and Finish Group chaired by Professor Bhaskar Vira, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Education. The Group will report to the General Board and the Colleges’ Committee, with updates provided to the Council. The Group will consult with the General Board’s Education Committee and the Senior Tutors’ Committee as its work progresses.

The first meeting of the Task and Finish Group will take place in the Lent Term 2024. Further communications, including a framework to support Faculties, Departments and Colleges in considering the issues under review, will be issued in due course.
