Evidence on improving disadvantaged student outcomes in HE severely lacking

19 November 2020

According to a new report by TASO (Transforming access and student outcomes in higher education) which was based on a review conducted by the Bridge Group and Coventry University, there is a severe lack of robust evidence on how to improve the retention and attainment of students from disadvantaged and underrepresented backgrounds in higher education.

The report also finds scant evidence for the best ways to narrow deep rooted inequalities in universities and colleges relating to race and socio-economic status.
