Dr. Diana Beech of HEPI sums up the recommendations for improving widening access in our joint report and proposes a path for how they can lead to a higher education system truly open to everyone.

Unpaid internships and work experiences should be paid and openly advertised to equal access and increase social mobility.

There should be further research into the specific contexts behind admissions data to help public understanding and the development of appropriate policies.

Reversing the decline in part-time students needs to be top of the agenda.

There should be much greater collaboration between employers, schools and universities to ensure all young people have access to transformative careers advice.

The Office for Students should make rebalancing higher education a priority and incentivise universities to offer degrees which will meet our skills needs.
