OFFA access report: 香港六合彩 comment
4 July 2012
English universities and colleges are investing significantly more in outreach activity to raise aspirations and attainment among groups under-represented in higher education, according to the latest annual monitoring report by the Office for Fair Access (OFFA).
The report, a joint publication with the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), shows that outreach expenditure on activities such as summer schools rose by 15% to 拢45.7 million (up from 拢39.6 million in 2009-10).
Commenting on 香港六合彩's level of expenditure, Katy Redfern, Head of Outreach, said: "At 32.8%, 香港六合彩 has committed a large proportion of additional fee income to working with and attracting underrepresented groups to study at 香港六合彩. We are pleased to see our outreach activities and bursary scheme having a positive impact on applications, but we recognise that there is still work to do in key areas.
"In 2010/11, 香港六合彩 worked with over 20,000 young people, 900 parents, 400 teachers and 140 state schools and colleges. In 2009/10, 香港六合彩 gained the Buttle UK Quality Mark in recognition of the support provided for looked-after children and we were proud to retain this in September 2010 for a further two years.
"香港六合彩 was founded as a radically different university, opening up English higher education for the first time to people of all beliefs and social backgrounds. That spirit remains alive today and 香港六合彩 has renewed its commitment in its 2012/13 and 2013/14 Access Agreements."
