The services provided by the LTSN Maths Stats & OR Network may soon be provided under the auspices of a different umbrella organisation following the recent report from the Teaching Quality Enhancement Committee (TQEC).

The TQEC set out its vision for the emerging quality enhancement agenda in its report delivered in January 2003
