answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/03/2019 answer text <p>Widening access and participation in higher education is a priority for this government. Everyone with the capability to succeed in higher education should have the opportunity to benefit from a university education, regardless of background or where they grew up.</p><p> </p><p>This year, record rates of English 18 year olds, including those from disadvantaged backgrounds, have entered full-time university. However, more could and should be done. That is why in our recent guidance to the Office for Students, we asked them to continue in its efforts to secure greater and faster progress in ensuring that students from disadvantaged and under-represented groups can access and successfully participate in higher education, including at the most selective providers.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, a new transparency condition requires higher education providers to publish application, offer, acceptance, non-continuation and attainment rates by socio-economic background, gender and ethnicity. It will provide greater transparency and help drive fairness on admissions and outcomes.</p><p> </p><p>Prior attainment is a critical factor, and the government has asked higher education providers to take on a more direct role in helping to raise attainment in schools as part of their outreach activity. All providers are expected to help raise attainment and support school improvement, including through school sponsorship and by establishing new state schools.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore question first answered 19/03/2019 15:46:51 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore

The new standards are due to be published in September 2019 and following on from this a spin off group will begin work on a national menu and recipe bank using chefs from within the NHS which will be a tool to help organisations achieve high standards of nutritional excellence.</p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 13/03/2019 17:09:36 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond
