OFFA sets out what universities need to do to charge fees of more than £6,000
The Office for Fair Access (OFFA) today (Tuesday, 8 March 2011) publishes new guidance setting out its expectations of what English universities will need to do if they wish to charge tuition fees of more than £6,000 for full-time entrants in 2012-13.
Wolf review
Professor Alison Wolf of King’s College London has completed her independent review of vocational education and how it can be improved for 14 to 19-year-olds in order to promote successful progression into the labour market and into higher level education and training routes.
The Aimhigher Programme formally closed on 31 July 2011.
The Aimhigher programme was established to encourage progression to higher education. Working through 42 partnerships across England, the programme encompassed a wide range of activities to engage and motivate school and college learners who had the potential to enter higher education, but who were under-achieving, undecided or lacking in confidence.
The programme particularly focused on students from schools from lower socio-economic groups and those from disadvantaged backgrounds who live in areas of relative deprivation where participation in higher education is low. In 2009-10 the partnerships worked with over 2,700 schools (including 188 Academies and 413 primary schools), 108 higher education institutions, 368 FE Colleges and 114 Local Authorities.
This website is being maintained so that the many examples of good practice and research developed through the Aimhigher programme can continue to be shared. A wide range of resources to support and encourage progression to higher education are available to download and use. Research and evaluation reports evidencing the impact of the programme at local and regional levels together with information about how to evaluate activities are also available.
