30 September 2019 Over half of young people are now attending university

Official figures published last week show that over half of young people are now attending university for the first time

In 2017-18, 50.2% of 17- to 30-year olds in England participated in higher education; the figures show a steady rise in the higher education participation rate over the last year years

The participation rate for women is 56.6% and for men 44.1%

The Education Secretary urged universities to do more to ensure a diverse intake of students, particularly by encouraging more disadvantaged students to participate in higher education
