Lecturers' hard work recognised in national survey

11 September 2008

UCU today welcomed the positive results of the fourth National Student Survey (NSS). The survey of nearly 220,000 students revealed that over four fifths of students (83%) were happy with the teaching on their course and 82% were satisfied overall - both statistics an increase on the 2007 survey.

UCU general secretary, Sally Hunt, said: 'The results of this survey are a testament to the incredible work being done by lecturers and academic-related staff in our universities. Despite rising class sizes and an ever-increasing administrative burden, staff continue to deliver an excellent higher education experience for students.
 
'In order to maintain this level of excellence the government must recognise and reward this fine work. The country needs to protect its proud reputation and can only do this with proper support and investment.'
