To improve the life chances of disadvantaged students, we need to pay much more attention to the types of universities & subjects in which they enrol, @EconomicsofHE evidence on the quality matches between students, universities & courses economicsofhe.org/2019/12/06…

disadvantaged students attend less selective HE courses, and courses with lower earnings potential, than advantaged students with the same prior attainment. New blogs on our website today! bit.ly/38dpJNV @lindsey_mac @gillwyness_econ @RichMurphy_Econ @_stuartcampbell

Why getting poor students into university just isn’t enough

Well done Gill Wyness @EconomicsofHE! labour.org.uk/press/labour-a…
Good to see Labour looking at PQA issue.
Relates to our current work for @NuffieldFound which finds low SES students are more likely to undermatch - attend unis less selective than they could do, given their A-level grades @lindsey_mac @_stuartcampbell #alevelresultsday2019
Pleased to see our work on predicted grades - which found that high attainers from low SES backgrounds more likely to be underpredicted - quoted in the labour party press release on reforms to HE labour.org.uk/press/labour-a… @IOE_London @ucu

New publication documenting the impact of England moving from ‘#FreeCollege Low-Aid’ to ‘High-Delayed-Fee, High-Aid’ on enrollment, equity and quality by @RichMurphy_Econ @jscottclayton and Gill Wyness Open Access authors.elsevier.com/a/1ZG1B…
The free college system had some costs: capacity constraints, low funding per student, and lack of access to low income groups.
