Inequality of access to higher education by young people is deep and
persistent. A ground-breaking study has revealed the extent and scale
of the inequality of access to higher education by young people from
affluent and poorer areas throughout the country. The Young
participation in higher education report by the Higher
Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) demonstrates that the
higher education divide between advantaged and disadvantaged children
is deep and persistent.
