PAST REPRESENTATIONS

Response of ATHE to the Subject Benchmark Review (2006)

The process of review is being coordinated by the appropriate subject association(s) for each subject and is being overseen by QAA. Revised statements will be subject to full consultation beginning Spring 2006 with a view to publication not later than December 2006. Statements published in 2002 (including ours) will be reviewed and revised in 2007.(QAA, 2006).

Following consultation with the members and discussions at Executive meetings, the Chair, Lyn Bibbings, attended a number of review group meetings and contributed to revisions to both the genericl areas of the statement for all HLST subjects and to the specific benchmarks for tourism.

The Executive agree that the revised benchmark statement will be circulated widely for consultation by the Association and by the QAA.
