Ofsted Unique Reference Number
The Unique Reference Number (URN) is a six-digit number used by the UK government to identify educational establishments in the United Kingdom. The URN is issued by the Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills (Ofsted) to identify the educational establishments they are responsible for monitoring. Initially this requirement applied to schools until Ofsted's brief was widened to include child care providers and nurseries. The more recent registration numbers for these early-years establishments are preceded by the prefix "EY" (early years). URNs for other educational establishments are issued by the Get Information About Schools (GIAS) website. It is possible for a GIAS-issued number to be the same as an Ofsted number for an unrelated school. A further number, the United Kingdom Provider Number (UKPRN), is issued by the UK Register of Learning Providers. Registration with the site allows a school to share and update its information with organisations such ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Higher Education Funding Council For England
The Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) was a non-departmental public body in the United Kingdom, which was responsible for the distribution of funding for higher education to universities and further education colleges in England since 1992. It ceased to exist as of 1 April 2018, when its duties were divided between the newly created Office for Students and Research England (operating within United Kingdom Research and Innovation). Most universities are charities and HEFCE (rather than the Charity Commission for England and Wales) was their principal regulator. HEFCE therefore had the duty to promote compliance with charity law by the universities for which it was responsible. History HEFCE was created by the Further and Higher Education Act 1992 (which also created the Further Education Funding Council for England (FEFC), replaced in 2001 by the Learning and Skills Council). On 1 June 2010 HEFCE became the principal regulator of those higher education institu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
