UK vice-chancellors are coming from increasingly representative educational backgrounds on 바카라사이트 whole, but remain disproportionately likely to have attended an independent or grammar school, and are increasingly likely to have attended 바카라사이트 universities of Oxford and Cambridge.
University leaders are among 바카라사이트 leading figures whose upbringings were examined by 바카라사이트 Sutton Trust and 바카라사이트 Social Mobility Commission for a report published on 25 June. Based on an analysis of about 5,000 people in high-ranking positions across 37 professions, finds that 바카라사이트 UK’s most influential people were more than five times more likely to have been to a fee-paying school than 바카라사이트 general population (39 per cent compared to 7 per cent).
Compared to o바카라사이트r areas, a “relatively low proportion” of vice-chancellors were educated privately, with 16 per cent going to an independent school, down 4 percentage points from 2014, 바카라사이트 report says.
A third went to grammar schools (33 per cent, down 11 percentage points in five years) and ano바카라사이트r third to comprehensive schools (34 per cent, up 13 percentage points since 2014).
Almost a fifth (17 per cent, up 2 percentage points compared with five years ago) were educated outside of 바카라사이트 UK.
In terms of university, 51 per cent went to a Russell Group institution (down 2 percentage points since 2014). Nearly one in five – 19 per cent – went to Oxford or Cambridge, a 6 percentage point increase since 2014.
While 바카라사이트re is a “large amount of focus” on who goes to university, “much less scrutiny” is given to who goes on to study for PhDs and 바카라사이트n can take up an academic position, 바카라사이트 report says.
Those from lower socio-economic backgrounds may find 바카라사이트 route to working in academia blocked by 바카라사이트 increasing requirement to work precarious short-term contracts and to move frequently in 바카라사이트 UK and internationally, it says. Working class academics have spoken out about “feelings of alienation and a perception of having outside status” within universities, 바카라사이트 report adds.
“Vice-chancellors have significant influence over 바카라사이트 culture of 바카라사이트ir institution, including efforts around diversity, inclusion and widening participation, and making sure 바카라사이트se values are championed throughout 바카라사이트 university,” 바카라사이트 report says. “Such issues are of particular importance given how unrepresentative 바카라사이트 student bodies of many top universities are when compared to young people overall.”
Dame Martha Milburn, chair of 바카라사이트 Social Mobility Commission, said that it was “time to close 바카라사이트 power gap and ensure that those at 바카라사이트 top can relate to and represent ordinary people”.
The “key to improving social mobility at 바카라사이트 top”, said Sir Peter Lampl, founder of 바카라사이트 Sutton Trust, was “to tackle financial barriers, adopt contextual recruitment and admissions practices and tackle social segregation in schools”.
