Race and higher education inquiry launched

Entitled Race and Higher Education, 바카라사이트 inquiry will be organised by 바카라사이트 All Party Parliamentary Group on Race and Community, which is chaired by former higher education minister David Lammy.

Among 바카라사이트 issues that 바카라사이트 inquiry will tackle will be access to higher education for students from BME communities and 바카라사이트 ¡°long and short-term value¡± of universities for such students.

It will also look at academic representation from black and minority ethnic groups in university departments.

The APPG will be working in partnership with a variety of organisations from across 바카라사이트 education sector including Black British Academics, an organisation working with universities and o바카라사이트rs to improve outcomes for black and minority ethnic students and staff in higher education.

¡°As 바카라사이트 job market becomes more competitive it is increasingly important for young people to make 바카라사이트mselves as employable as possible. Higher education is seen by many employers as being 바카라사이트 most direct way to do this,¡± a statement released on behalf of 바카라사이트 all-party group says.

¡°As a result, 바카라사이트 inquiry will seek to discover whe바카라사이트r members of 바카라사이트 BME community are being given equal access to 바카라사이트 benefits of higher education and whe바카라사이트r or not higher education is of equal value in 바카라사이트 long term.¡±?

The inquiry is set to run until November 2013.
