The Higher Education Academy (HEA) accreditation scheme and associated UK ProfessionalStandards Framework (UKPSF) for the professional recognition of teaching was introduced in2003. There are now over 92,000 fellows of the HEA in the UK, over 1,000 in Australia and justover 100 in NZ, with a further 1,600 in many other countries across the world. The recentProductivity Commission report recommended that NZ develop ‘frameworks of professionalstandards for tertiary teaching’ and Ako Aotearoa is now supporting sector-wide debate on thispoint.
