Dept for Education and Skills

Answer

Lynne Jones: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills, pursuant to her answer, Ref 38091, of 5 March 2002, if she will amalgamate information for performance indicators in higher education in the UK to allow comparison to be made of the socio-economic background of students entering all high ranking universities with those entering all other universities. [41953] Margaret Hodge: The entry requirements of higher education institutions will vary from course to course and from year to year. Nevertheless, I have set out data which shows the Performance Indicators for the entry of young people by social class to undergraduate courses. The Government introduced aspirational funding for high ranking universities to support their efforts to recruit more young people from state schools. Institutions which currently receive this funding are listed first, followed by other institutions.
