The Office for Students (OfS) is a regulatory body in England that oversees higher education institutions. Established in 2018, its primary role is to ensure that students receive a high-quality education and have access to necessary support. The OfS aims to promote competition among universities and protect students' interests. The OfS also works to improve access to higher education for underrepresented groups. It monitors universities to ensure they meet specific standards and provides funding to support initiatives that enhance student experiences. By focusing on quality and equality, the OfS plays a crucial role in shaping the future of higher education in England.
