In recent years, there has been a concerted effort to address disparities in university admissions by implementing policies aimed at lowering entry requirements for disadvantaged students. The rationale behind these policies is to create greater access to higher education for students from underrepresented backgrounds and promote social mobility.
However, according to the regulator, these efforts have failed to achieve their intended objectives, as the imbalance in university admissions persists despite lowering the bar for disadvantaged students. While these policies may have increased the number of disadvantaged students entering university, they have not succeeded in closing the gap between different socioeconomic groups.
The statement highlights the need for a more holistic approach to addressing inequalities in university admissions, one that goes beyond simply lowering entry requirements and addresses the underlying systemic barriers that prevent disadvantaged students from accessing higher education. This may include measures such as improving access to quality education at earlier stages, providing targeted support and resources to disadvantaged students, and addressing structural inequalities within the education system.
As we reflect on these findings, it is essential to reevaluate our approach to promoting equity and inclusivity in higher education. While lowering the bar for disadvantaged students may be a step in the right direction, it is clear that more comprehensive and systemic interventions are needed to truly redress imbalances in university admissions and create a more equitable and accessible higher education system for all.
