Universities "make strenuous efforts" to find talent
The president of Universities UK has said that higher education establishments in Britain are making every effort to open their doors to youngsters from all walks of life.
However, Professor Rick Trainor said that universities were unable to do this alone and that children needed to be encouraged to stay on in school in order to generate more graduates.
He said that universities around the UK are committed to offering higher education opportunities to young people if they can benefit from it, regardless of their background, and that most are making progress in this area.
"If we are to continue to widen access from under-represented groups, it is also vital that we increase the staying-on rates in school beyond the school leaving age," Professor Trainor explained.
"Universities make strenuous efforts to seek out potential by looking at a number of factors when selecting students, but, as we've said consistently, they cannot admit people who are not applying to university."
