Participation in full-time higher education 1996-2010: a 'home international' perspective
In 1998-99 responsibility for higher education (HE) was devolved to new elected bodies in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. There has been some policy divergence, especially in respect of student fees, but the devolved administrations share many policy goals, notably to widen participation. This Briefing reports on a study, funded by the Nuffield Foundation, which analysed data on HE applications. It compares patterns of participation in the four home countries, especially in relation to social class and ethnicity, and reports trends in cross-border student flows.
