The Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) has agreed in principle to recommendations from the PBRF Sector Reference Group (SRG) on reporting the results of Quality Evaluation 2026. 

Between 5 May and 16 June 2023, the SRG consulted the sector on a range of issues to do with reporting the results. They included:

  • the purpose of reporting
  • whether the TEC should stop reporting anything previously reported, other than the Average Quality Score (AQS)
  • new reporting arising from changes
  • opportunities to add value to previous reporting.

Following the consultation period, the SRG made its recommendations to the TEC. For full details of the TEC’s in-principle decisions, along with summaries of consultation feedback, see SRG Consultation Papers 2026.

These in-principle decisions will inform the SRG’s recommendations on any issues that remain to be considered, and will be reflected in the Quality Evaluation 2026 Guidelines.

The SRG is operating between September 2021 and the publication of the final Quality Evaluation 2026 Guidelines in November 2023.
