Kate Green responds to Government plans to review the university admissions system

Kate Green MP, Labour’s Shadow Education Secretary, responding to Government plans to review the university admissions system, said:

“The Government appears to be finally ready to listen to Labour’s repeated calls to reform the university admissions system.

“University admissions must be transparent, fair, and widen access to higher education. The current system simply fails to do this and must be overhauled.

“This consultation announcement is a welcome start, but the Government must also look at the wider factors universities should consider when making offers to students from disadvantaged backgrounds to ensure the system is genuinely fair to all.”
