Widening Participation report – in partnership with SMF & Open University
Published on March 23, 2016
Today the SMF publishes a new report on Widening Participation, in partnership with University Alliance and the Open University.
The research looks in detail at the Prime Minister’s ambition to double the proportion of disadvantaged students entering higher education by 2020. It brings together a range of evidence, examining different possible scenarios on how – and whether – the government’s target can be achieved, and at differences among different institutions within the HE sector.
University Alliance's new strategy: '2035: First for Students, First for Employers' sets out its vision for professional and technical universities to drive high-level skills, employer partnerships and economic growth across the UK.
UA CEO Vanessa Wilson has commented on the government's announcement of new upfront financial support for healthcare students undertaking clinical placements.
