I question whether it offers much more than a subjective opinion on research quality in the first place.

You don't think you can teach communication? Some people are more natural at those things for sure but you absolutely can make people better at all of those things

I'm thinking at some point all of the education side will end up in smaller private training companies who offer more robust outcomes and certification and don't just try to sell as many degrees as possible

Exactly this. Plus by the time you are doing CPR the person is clinically speaking dead so the worst you can do is send them to their funeral with a few broken ribs. If it even works 5% of the time, to keep them going until something can be done, it's worth a go.

It comes from a BBC radio 4 sketch comedy called John Finnemore's souvenir programme which has to be one of the smartest things written for radio

Universities enrolling foreign students with poor English, BBC finds Institutions may be overlooking inadequate language skills to receive high fees from overseas students.

The only real surprise here is how long this has taken to come out. The people that run universities have no idea how to run a university
