At the meeting on 24 May 2013, Academic Standards Committee received the responses to the recommendations arising from the Review of the School of Education. At the meeting ASC concurred with the Panel Convener's view that as far as possible the recommendations had been given full and appropriate consideration, but updates on recommendations which had not been fully implemented should be provided to ASC in November 2013 for the following recommendations:

• Recommendation 2 – to update on introduction of PGT standardised documentation;
• Recommendation 3 – to update on improvement to the Annual Monitoring process;
• Recommendation 5 – to update on staff workload balance following the appointment of new staff;
• Recommendation 7 – to update on assessment processes to ensure feedback is provided within the University’s policy of a 3-week turnaround (and not 4-week as stated within the Report);
• Recommendation 10 – to update on progress made in development of the School’s web pages.

Academic Standards Committee is asked to consider the adequacy of the updated responses and the progress made. Attention is drawn to the response to Recommendation 10. Does ASC wish to request a further progress report?
