England’s higher education watchdog on Thursday said it will investigate the quality of business and management courses at eight universities.
The Office for Students (OfS) said the investigation will examine whether the universities had replaced in-person teaching with poor-quality online learning after the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic.
