Education Ltd At Higher Education Ltd. We need limited scholarly validation. In Mother Market’s blessing is our legitimation. In competitive advantage is our confirmation. It is the TQM mantra that will lead us to salvation. And this quality’s quantification—wow, what a creative calculation! ISO certification is our attestation. Merrily, we choose: External audit over self-examination. Academic audit over self-regulation. Strategic rationality over communicative sociation. We have no capacity for self-determination No desire for self-emancipation. Our accountability is a neat calculable obligation. Oh! we hail the reign of KPI evaluation. A five-star ranking in The Good Universities’ Guide Is our self-actualization. Up by 10% in benchmarking, that calls for such jubilation!
