Fee regimes and widening access in the four UK nations: Are no-fees regimes necessarily more socially inclusive?

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter (peer-reviewed) › peer-review

Abstract / Description of output

The chapter begins with an overview of the funding and support regimes in the different UK jurisdictions. We then examine the range of policy interventions which have been pursued in order to facilitate widening access by pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds. Finally, we examine statistical data to explore the success of the different regimes in attracting students from less advantaged backgrounds into higher education, questioning whether the Scottish no-fees system is more successful than those in other parts of the UK.
