本文对英国高等教育关键信息集（KIS）进行了批判性分析，该信息集是在2011年英国白色文件“系统核心的学生”之后实施的。缔约国认为，知识创新系统的核心原则之一-提供信息，使学生在自由市场中能够作出知情选择，并通过这一消费者选择过程提高教学质量-是站不住脚的，因为知识创新系统的核心组成部分-全国学生调查-在用于比较大学课程时是不可靠的。此外，它认为，KIS具体化的价值和高等教育资格的价值的新自由主义的观点，定位为商品的价值只支付个人，而不是作为一个整体的社会价值的东西。联合王国以外的学者和决策者将对此特别感兴趣，因为这些国家的政府和管理机构可能正在执行类似的政策。
This paper provides a critical analysis of the United Kingdom’s higher education Key Information Set (KIS), which was implemented following the 2011 UK White Paper ‘Students at the Heart of the System’. It argues that one of the central tenets of the KIS – providing information that students within a free market can make an informed choice and, through this process of consumer choice improve the quality of teaching, is untenable because a central component of the KIS, the National Student Survey (NSS), is unreliable when used for comparing university courses. Further, it argues that the KIS reified a neoliberal perspective about the worth and value of higher education qualification, positioning it as a commodity of value only to the paying individual rather than being something of value to society as a whole. It will be of particular interest to academics and policy makers from outside of the United Kingdom, where governmental and regulatory agencies may be implementing similar policies.
