for universities that accept students from disadvantaged backgrounds

social mobility advisor to the government to use the coalition to provide additional funds to universities for each student recruited from poor families, in a report made to reopen the debate on engineering "social "admissions.

Alan Milburn, the former Health Secretary of Labor, propose a reform of university funding to ensure that institutions are offered a financial incentive to increase participation. It also explains the benefits of contextual universities when recruiting students, where students are worst areas some leeway on the quality of their A-levels.

The recommendations contained in a report commissioned by the government to be published this week. Professor Les Ebdon, the former rector of the University of Bedfordshire, who is now director of the Office of Fair Access, has been vilified by praising the benefits of contextual data in the selection.

critics, including private schools and Conservatives complain that this policy would be middle-class children who lose children unfairly lower scores.

Milburn warned that even the progress of the last decade is affected by headwinds "" including budgetary restrictions within the government, a limit on the number of students and a sharp increase in rates registration.


Milburn said that the government must now commit to increasing the percentage of GDP devoted to higher education and increase or remove the cap on the number of students. Milburn said. "Most universities do much, but they must do more when you look at who enters college, the talent pool is limited at the moment due to three gaps: between private and public schools, students better and worse ones, and between children studying key issues and who did not.

"If access to university is to be truly classless, there must be progress at the end of each gap. Clear government policy has a key role to play, but if universities. Over the last 10 years, have spent hundreds of millions of pounds extension, widening participation. In 2015, expenditure will be more than £ 600 million per year. is crucial that this money is spent and offers social impact as possible, and this is not the case today. "
Milburn propose the abandonment of fee waivers and scholarships because there is "little evidence" that they are effective. Instead, he argues that universities need to establish relationships with schools and students in the poorest regions of the country to encourage them to see the university as a natural progression.
