Performance Indicators Steering Group

The Performance Indicators Steering Group (PISG) was established in 1998, and is made up of representatives of the funding bodies, the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA), government departments, higher education institutions and other interested bodies.

The group's original brief was to take forward the recommendations of the National Committee of Inquiry into Higher Education, and the request of the Secretary of State for Education and Employment to develop appropriate performance indicators and benchmarks for families of institutions with similar characteristics and aspirations.
