Minister Jenkyns responds to OfS

Responding to the Office for Students' press release entitled OfS sets out plans to ensure ‘choice and not chance’ determine success, Skills Minister Andrea Jenkyns said:

“Real social mobility is about more than just getting students through the door - we want universities to reboot their access and participation plans in order to boost attainment, cut dropout rates and support students with high-quality courses.

“The journey towards a successful future begins in classrooms, not campuses, and everyone in the education sector has a part to play. That is why today’s consultation asks the sector how they can help all students – whatever their background - progress into university and graduate with high quality degrees that lead to good future prospects.”
