and challenges.</p><br /><p>The Director of Fair Access monitors the performance of
Universities against their targets and provides a report each year on the progress
that has been made.</p><p>The Green Paper <em>Fulfilling our Potential: Teaching Excellence,
Social Mobility and Student Choice, CM 9141 </em>sets out additional steps the Government
plans to take to increase the proportion of students from disadvantaged background
entering higher education including through the new guidance that we plan to issue
to the Director of Fair Access, and through the social mobility taskforce being set
up by Universities UK.</p>
