Based on these reports, reports containing quantitative and qualitative evaluations of higher education institutions are shared with the public by the Council of Higher Education. The Council of Higher Education publishes the "Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report" annually, which includes academic, administrative, and financial data for foundation higher education institutions.
