EXCELLENCE CHALLENGE IN GLOUCESTER

That this House notes that, at present, only 28 per cent. of entrants to higher education are from disadvantaged backgrounds; believes that children with no history of higher education in their family background should have the opportunity of benefiting from higher education; and welcomes the launch of the Excellence Challenge in Gloucester, which will encourage and enable hundreds of local children from ordinary working families to become the graduates of the future.
