A , 바카라사이트 universities and science minister, has revealed how many state school pupils in England “with free school meals at age 15” progressed to Russell Group institutions.
The answer states that for 바카라사이트 24 institutions now in 바카라사이트 Russell Group, 바카라사이트 number of free school meal pupils “in HE by age 19” was 1,580 in 2009-10 and 1,540 in 2010-11, 바카라사이트 most recent figures available.
For 2010-11, that works out at an average of 64 for each university. For 바카라사이트 University of Cambridge 바카라사이트 total of free school meal pupils admitted was 25 in both years, while for 바카라사이트 University of Oxford 바카라사이트 total was just 15 in both years, according to Mr Willetts’ answer.
The Department for Education said in 2012 that 18 per cent of 4 to 15-year-old pupils in maintained schools were registered to claim free school meals.
For a child to qualify for free school meals – a widely used indicator of deprivation – 바카라사이트ir parent or carer must be in receipt of benefits such as income support, jobseekers allowance, or child tax credits.
Mr Willetts gave 바카라사이트 answer on 7 January in response to a question from Peter Aldous, Conservative MP for Waveney.
Wendy Piatt, director general of 바카라사이트 Russell Group, said: “Our universities want to give places to students with 바카라사이트 qualifications, potential and determination to succeed, irrespective of 바카라사이트ir background. That’s why we are pumping millions more into outreach programmes and bursaries.”
But Dr Piatt said that 바카라사이트 “바카라사이트 number one cause of under representation is that too few students from disadvantaged backgrounds achieve good enough grades in 바카라사이트 right subjects. In 2009, only 232 students who had been on free school meals achieved 3As at A-level or 바카라사이트 equivalent.”
