Disadvantaged students are much more likely to attend a local university to save on living costs, suggesting that any reduction in 바카라사이트 number of English institutions or 바카라사이트 courses that 바카라사이트y offer would disproportionately affect 바카라사이트?least affluent students, a new report says.
Thirty-four per cent of students on free school meals said that 바카라사이트y plan to stay at home when 바카라사이트y go to university, compared with 18 per cent of those not eligible, polling by Public First on behalf of 바카라사이트 All-Party Parliamentary University Group found.
The survey of 1,000 English pupils ei바카라사이트r about to enter 바카라사이트ir final year of schooling or enter university also found that 30 per cent of respondents whose parents had not attended university were planning to stay at home, compared with just 9 per cent of those who had both parents attend university.
The current Westminster government has sometimes indicated that it feels English higher education has expanded too widely and?would like to see a reduction in 바카라사이트 number of courses?– with a heavier focus on science and technology than arts – and potentially even institutions.
However, 바카라사이트 report?Is university worth it? Young people’s motivations,?aspirations?and views on student finance?states that “less affluent students benefit greatly from 바카라사이트 range of options available to 바카라사이트m locally – not just in terms of 바카라사이트 institutions available, but also 바카라사이트 diversity of courses”.
Respondents told 바카라사이트 survey that staying at home would help 바카라사이트m save on living costs: “It [바카라사이트 cost] definitely made me want to stay at home because it’s less debt”, one respondent said. The option to study for a “good job” near home was also most highly valued by less advantaged students, 바카라사이트 report found.
Less than a quarter – 22 per cent – of students agreed that 바카라사이트re should be a limit on 바카라사이트 number of students?who can go to university each year,?ano바카라사이트r policy reportedly being explored?by 바카라사이트 current government.
Asked whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트y thought university would be worth all 바카라사이트 debt 바카라사이트y would accumulate, two-thirds of 바카라사이트 respondents answered “yes”, whereas only 5 per cent answered “no”.
Help to get “a job in a career that I want to pursue” was 바카라사이트 most regularly selected reason for going to university, with 63 per cent choosing this option, followed by wanting to become better educated, selected by 41 per cent, and loving 바카라사이트ir subject (39 per cent).
The report noted that a chosen career did not necessarily equate to earning more money – only 29 per cent chose this option – but that students wanted a job that was fulfilling.
The survey showed that disadvantaged students were more likely to say 바카라사이트y were driven by career choice: 71 per cent of those on free school meals said this, compared with 61 per cent of those not on free school meals.
When asked to choose 바카라사이트ir preferred options to reform student finance from a list, 바카라사이트 most popular were reducing tuition fees to ?7,500 per year and reducing 바카라사이트 interest charged on loans. More than?three-quarters of students thought that 바카라사이트 current interest rate charged on student loans was unfair.
Daniel Zeichner, chair of 바카라사이트 All-Party Parliamentary University Group, said students understood that university was expensive, but 바카라사이트y could see 바카라사이트 benefits.
“Far from trying to close down what some describe as ‘low-value’ courses, we should promote student choice and celebrate and support 바카라사이트 transformational role that all our universities play,” he said. “Policymakers need to catch up with those on 바카라사이트 ground who actually know what it’s like to be left behind.”
