Performance Indicators and Widening Participation in UK Higher Education.
- Authors
Pugh, Geoff; Coates, Gwen; Adnett, Nick
- Abstract
We investigate the relationship between the widening participation performance indicators adopted in UK higher education (HE) and the government's objective of increasing overall HE participation rates. We critically assess the development of performance monitoring in HE and identify weaknesses in the current performance indicators from the perspective of the main stakeholders. We suggest the development of internal indicators and benchmarks by HE institutions together with extensions to the current national performance indicators that could improve their usefulness.
