Pisa should be seen as a warning light, rather than a diagnosis of what is wrong with Welsh education.
University of York
The University of York’s mission is public good. Its founding values - of excellence, equality and opportunity for all - are as true today as they were when it opened its doors in 1963 to 230 students. Today, it is home to more than 20,000 students and 5,000 staff from across the world.
York’s research reflects its extraordinary and diverse community and partnerships. From a spark of curiosity, we explore the unknown and open up new ideas and opportunities for all. The achievements of our staff and students continue to inspire and have a positive impact on a local, national and global scale.
The University of York is one of only four UK universities to secure an overall rating of Gold for its teaching (2023 TEF/Teaching Excellence Framework) as well as be top 10 for the quality of its research (Times Higher Education’s most recent ranking of REF/Research Excellence Framework).
This most recent 2021 ranking positioned eight of the University’s academic departments in the top five for their subject, while 12 were in the top ten in terms of research impact. The University believes passionately in research-led teaching helping students develop skills needed to be successful in a competitive global workplace.
