The Influence of Geographical Location on Participation in Higher Education
Online (TEAMS) from 09.45 to 13.15
Universities, colleges and outreach partnerships are increasingly taking into account the regional context in which people live when considering their educational progression. This event examined the complex relationship between the geographical and socio-economic factors that might influence an individual’s capacity to access educational opportunities. Participants learned from leading academics about their research in this field, heard examples of current practice from colleagues working in regional-based initiatives and explored strategies for supporting the educational progression of people whilst taking into account the regional context in which they live.
