The value of attending university
The Education Secretary delivered a speech to the conference, outlining his ambition to not only protect and build on the UK’s position as a world leader in higher education.
Admissions
School uniform and Cambridge admissions
Our school uniform policy is clear that a school must have regard to its obligations under equalities legislation.
Celebrating A level results
Today is A level results day and we are congratulating all those who worked hard for their grades. We also look at higher education and sugar in schools.
Ensuring quality for university students
At the start of the month, new powers were announced for the universities regulating body the Office for Students. The newly appointed Universities Minister Jo Johnson took this chance to outline his ambition for all students to receive a high-quality education and receive value for money at university.
Increasing accessibility to top institutions
We have made great progress in ensuring universities are open to all, with record rates of disadvantaged 18-year-olds in higher education. But much more needs to be done and we expect the sector to make significant progress in the coming years.
Working to improve social mobility across the country
We want to create opportunity for everyone. Employment has risen in every UK region under this government, wages are outstripping inflation, the gap between disadvantaged pupils and their peers has narrowed and the proportion of 16 and 17-year-olds in education or apprenticeships is at its highest ever.
