National Student Survey ‘to be published in July’

Barometer of student satisfaction goes ahead despite calls for cancellation

The Office for Students has confirmed that it plans to publish the results of the National Student Survey on 1 July—although it says the date is “subject to change in response to the current coronavirus pandemic”.

The OfS had been under pressure to suspend the NSS because of the Covid-19 fallout. In March, the National Union of Students said the survey would not present “a true picture of the student experience but a snapshot of a year of disrupted education”. Jo Grady, general secretary of the University and College Union, has also said the NSS “should be cancelled”.
