The aims of the awards are:

• to show support at a national level for excellence in teaching and
learning in higher education;
• to generate a cadre of academics who are identifiable and able to
provide inspiration and leadership in teaching in their disciplines,
institutions and regions; and
• to generate debate and public awareness about what constitutes
teaching excellence in higher education.
