Dear all,
I am looking for postgraduate evidence to respond to the
government call for evidence cited
below . Statistical data from as many different
sources as possible
would be very helpful. Particularly, I am trying to gather data in the
following areas.
1. What is the social composition of the postgraduate student body at
your H.E.I.?
2.What is the social composition of postgraduates receiving research
grants or bursaries?
3. Are there significant differences between the composition of the
above and
and the composition of part-time fee paying students?
4. Are there significant subject specific differences between the
full/part-time and social composition of postgraduate students
5. What are ex-postgrads from your HEI doing now
Although this sort of information is usually readily available for
undergraduates, I am having some difficulty finding postgraduate data
already processed along Equal Opps/Access lines.
If you are able to respond, it would be very helpful if you could say
what sort of H.E.I yours is i.e
classification, old/new large/small etc so that I can try and write as
balanced a report as possible.
Many Thanks
Ruth Chandler ( Equal Opportunities/Access Officer, National
Postgraduate Commitee)

concerns then please send!
ACCESS FOR ALL? A SURVEY OF POST-16 PARTICIPATION
The Education and Employment Committee is to undertake an inquiry
into participation in post-compulsory education, training and
lifelong learning. (This follows the undertaking given the
Committee's Third Report of the current Session, The Dearing Report:
some funding aspects (Third Report, HC(97-98)241, paragraph 4). The
Committee is interested in who takes part in learning after
compulsory school age; who doesn't, and why not; and the extent to
which those who do participate benefit from that learning experience.
The inquiry will take full account of the findings of the
Government's forthcoming White Paper on Lifelong Learning.
The Committee invites interested parties to submit evidence on the
following issues:
the relative levels of participation in post-compulsory
learning, categorised by such factors as age, sex,
socio-economic background, region, ethnicity and disability
(opportunities for the disabled in education and employment will
also be considered in a separate, dedicated inquiry, the main
obstacles to participation
facing different groups of the population the relationship
between participation in learning and subsequent employment,
income and other life outcomes, controlled for the factors
listed above
