Article summary

The Office for Students (OfS) has launched a consultation on the future of its Uni Connect programme, and its plans to extend the funding of the programme to 2025. The Uni Connect programme, through 29 local partnerships across England, provides 'long-term coordinated information, advice and guidance and outreach to support student progression to further and higher education.' The consultation allows Uni Connect partnerships, schools, colleges and other stakeholders to help inform a new approach to the programme from 2021–2022 onwards. The OfS' proposals set out a 'new way of tackling equality gaps for underrepresented learners by identifying and delivering outreach within the highest-priority schools and colleges.' The consultation closes on 19 January 2021.
