    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on research by the Office for Students (OfS), which revealed that young people from more advantaged neighbourhoods are still nearly six times more likely to attend the most selective universities in England despite a significant growth in the use of contextual offers. Topics discussed include findings of the research, and remarks from Chris Millward, director for Fair Access and Participation at the OfS.
