“A lot of these pupils will be first generation higher education. Going to university is something that has simply not previously been seen as an option by them or their families.”
“We talk to teachers and offer one-to-one advice sessions with pupils. More than 50 per cent of my time is spent going into schools and listening to what they already do and seeing how we can help them identify and fill any gaps. It is about enabling young people to make informed choices, not only about higher education but about their own skills and abilities.”
