Higher Education: the National Picture

Government Offices promote and support the development of Higher Education throughout England. Our main target is to increase participation in Higher Education to 50 per cent of 18-30 year olds, in line with the national target. We are also working to improve fair access and to reduce rates of non- completion of courses.

We work with regional and national partners which include Learning and Skills Councils, Regional Development Agencies and the Higher Education Funding Council (England). Examples of activity we may undertake include:

 

  • helping to reduce rates of non-completion by supporting the Aim Higher programme
  • advising on proposals for new higher education institutions
  • helping to develop collaborative Lifelong Learning Networks
  • facilitating employer engagement in the development of higher education level skills in the workforce
