Article summary

The Department for Education (DfE) has announced that the government will launch a consultation on minimum service levels in universities where students and universities will be invited to share their views on strike actions and their impacts. The DfE has said that the consultation will also aim to address better protection for final year students, key cohorts or students studying specialist subjects. The DfE has also explained that, if implemented, this minimum service level will enable students to obtain the education they pay for by protecting them from strike action.
