Abstract

In 2004, the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) commissioned the authors to conduct an independent review of existing evidence on widening participation in higher education (HE), with a focus on the range of barriers facing potential and actual students. This book is an updated summary of the evidence revealed and conclusions drawn from the review. The chapters are: Higher education and the problem of access; Assessing the patterns of inequality in higher education; Which students are missing from HE?; Reviewing the evidence base on widening participation; Barriers to participation in education; A life-course approach: early life and schooling; The transition to higher education; Experiencing higher education; Graduation and beyond; Overcoming the barriers to participation.
