• There has been substantial progress on widening access to HE during the last decade.• But there is a continued imperative for higher level skills to improve productivity and meet the future needs of
business and public services.• And substantial gaps remain: key concerns with regard to place (both overall and relative to attainment) and
part-time / mature students in particular.• We have sustained a remarkably high retention rate notwithstanding this growth, but HEFCE work shows clear
and persistent gaps in outcomes for disadvantaged and BME groups.
HEFCE is working in a number of ways to address these issues, including:
• Targeting investment in local areas to support collaborative outreach through NCOP• Developing new degree level apprenticeships to provide new work-based routes into HE and work.• Addressing the barriers to student success by supporting innovation and sector-wide take up• Developing new ways of measuring student engagement and learning gain to enable targeted improvements in
teaching and student support• Delivering the Teaching Excellence Framework to recognise and incentivise high quality learning and teaching,
and positive outcomes for all types of students.
National CollaborativeOutreach Programme
• £60m targeted to specific local areas
• 29 NCOP consortia covering 997 wards
• collaborative outreach targeting young people in years 9-13
• designed nationally; developed locally
• complements existing outreach
• robust approach to evaluation
