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
