Higher Education

The Minister faces many challenges in Harlow in Essex. This year, there was a rise of 5 per cent. in the number of applications to Essex university, but Professor Ivor Crewe has said:"““We may be getting a slightly different social composition with fewer students from working-class backgrounds””." The rise is fuelled by greater numbers of middle-class applicants.
