THE ROBBINS
REPORT
50 YEARS ON
The ‘Robbins principle’
‘courses of higher education
should be available for all
those who are qualified by
ability and attainment to
pursue them and who wish to
do so’
‘modern societies can[not] achieve their aims of economic growth and higher cultural standards without making the most of the talents of their citizens.’
![Page 13: THE IMPORTANCE OF DATA: SUPPORTING STUDENT … Janet Beer... · WHAT WE WILL COVER The importance of data in: • student decision-making • organisational decision-making Use of](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051601/5abf69e37f8b9a5d718e37c9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
FAIR ACCESS TO
HIGHER EDUCATION…
WHY IT MATTERS
‘…it’s obvious when students come to study with us that the brightest sparks do not always come with the best results.’
Contextualised Admissions: Examining the Evidence
‘A degree is one of the best
guarantees of stable
employment and economic
security over a lifetime.’
State of the Nation: Social
Mobility and Child Poverty in
Great Britain
![Page 14: THE IMPORTANCE OF DATA: SUPPORTING STUDENT … Janet Beer... · WHAT WE WILL COVER The importance of data in: • student decision-making • organisational decision-making Use of](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051601/5abf69e37f8b9a5d718e37c9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
WHERE WE ARE
‘Learners with University-
educated parents were
found to be five times more
likely to reach higher
education than those from
disadvantaged
backgrounds.’
Contextualised Admissions:
Examining the Evidence
‘You can see differences,
for example in personal
statements… there is more
‘grooming’ in independent
schools which have more
experience to give better
careers advice, support
and preparation.’
