Widening Participation: Synthesis of International Evidence

Funded by

The Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills (DIUS)

Timescale

April 2007- April 2008

Overview

The aim of the project is to identify, evaluate and analyse international evidence of good practice in widening participation in HE amongst under-represented groups, in order to demonstrate how they might best be operationalised in an English context.

The project consists of 3 stages:

• Evidence Framework: An extensive search of international grey and published literature on widening participation, This evidence will then be evaluated, sorted and classified thematically
• Conceptual Framework: A model will be developed to demonstrate how far these initiatives are applicable to England
• Application Framework: This will identify those initiatives which are potentially most useful to England, with an analysis of their costs, benefits and risks
