I have been asked to go to a meeting on Thursday at the DfEE to discuss
possible improvements
to the collection and input of course data by HEIs into the HEI Database of
courses and term dates.
Would anyone who has any views or suggestions please let me have them by
lunchtime on Wednesday.
As far as I can see, the process went much more smoothly in winter 1999/2000
than it did the year before. I hope we can be allowed more lead time. I
will go through the instructions again to see where they can be improved;
but I am rather too close to the design of the process (ie I think I
understand it) so I am not as critical of the instructions as I would be if
I simply received them cold.
I am also pursing (on a more extended agenda) the issue of whether it
actually matters if a student is doing say French, or French with German.
But any resolution of this will probably not effect the collection of course
and term date details, because LEAs will need to know these to calculate how
much a student is to be lent.
