Does someone want to tell the scorer at @HomeOfCricket that the scoreboard is completely wrong?

We're calling on the new government to protect young peoples' futures. Here's what we want to see:
✅ Increase maintenance support
✅ Sharia-compliant student loans
✅ Increase scholarships and bursaries
✅ Transparency about the costs of university
✅ More financial education

New research launched today at @AccessProjectUK into how the cost of living crisis is affecting university choices for under-resourced students.
Rising costs are creating more barriers for students and support must increase to maintain access for all

🚨New cost of living research blog post 🚨
At @AccessProjectUK collaborating with students as co-investigators was a key priority for this project, and working with Riveen and Ismail was such a pleasure from start to finish.
Hear about their experience- theaccessproject.org.uk/blog…

Excellent event by @Policy_Connect @EduSkillsPC and @SMCommission at @UKHouseofLords on 'Developing Skills and Talent'
Wisdom from Prof Sharon Gerwitz on bringing young people into the room and providing them with 1-1 support.
That's what we do at @AccessProjectUK

Important words from @pmdfoster on the risk of closure at universities across England- this only worsens the worry across the widening participation space that less resource will be put into access and student support for the most disadvantaged pupils
#universities #students
EXC: Universities in England face risk of "closure" as student numbers fall, the Office for Students will warn tomorrow -- have advance extracts of annual report.
Finds 40pc unis in defict; applications falling when unis were betting on 25-35% growth😬

Amazing session by @ViviFriedgut from @blackbullion at the @HELOA_UK conference today
Students are facing intense financial challenges in this cost-of-living 'condition' (love this reframing)
This is exactly what we are hearing in our research- theaccessproject.org.uk/blog…
As part of ongoing research into the cost of living crisis, we spoke to @AccessProjectUK Year 12 students about how it is affecting their university choices
Read our latest blog post to hear directly from them!

“It’s kind of scary."
📉 The cost of living crisis is making student life financially untenable, particularly for those from under-resourced backgrounds.

Excellent news 🌟
UCAS is waiving the £28.50 application fee for students in receipt of free school meals. Any student eligible for FSM who is applying for 2025 university entry can qualify for the waiver.
Big step towards levelling the playing field for low-income students 👍
📢With the aim of removing the initial financial hurdle to attending higher education, today we’ve announced that students in receipt of free school meals will no longer have to pay for their university application.
