Understanding participation and non-participation in HE for white working class and minority ethnic groups (BIS).
Proposal summary:
The principal aims of this project are:
1) To examine potential gaps in in the current understanding of why these groups are less likely to progress to HE and to test hypotheses using the ALSPAC dataset linked to NPD and HESA.
2) Undertake qualitative interviews with the groups of interest, in particular to establish what individuals felt were the barriers to higher education for them personally. For those who made the successful transition, we would like to understand the factors that contributed to their HE participation.
