Efficiency, effectiveness and value for money

This report builds on the work of the 2011 UUK Efficiency Task Group and presents a new agenda for efficiency, effectiveness and value for money in higher education.

Across eight thematic chapters, it sets out:

• the critical role UK higher education plays in the economy and wider society
• enhancements to efficiency and effectiveness in key strategic areas over the last decade
• high-level commitments that the sector will embrace over the next five years to ensure a continued focus on efficiency
• recommendations for further action that will help to incentivise and stimulate change
