Institutional Targets and milestones. 7.1 We do not currently collect data which would be suitable to determine baseline for targets and milestones around low income or socio-economic groups. However, we will wish to monitor the numbers of students participating in our institution who are in receipt of full or partial state support. We will also wish to develop targets around other under-represented groups if identified.
Institutional Targets and milestones. 7.1 It should be noted that the number of trainees on the course is very small and therefore the setting of detailed milestones is not appropriate and fluctuation year by year may appear to be larger than one might expect. However, suitable to determine baseline for targets and milestones around low income or socio-economic groups. We will monitor the number of students participating in our institution who are in receipt of full or partial state support and note the impact of the fees and fee waiver arrangements of recruitment levels and patterns in an annual monitoring report to the Management Board. We will also wish to develop targets around other under- represented groups including trainees from ethnic minority groups and men and benchmark this data against other similar providers of post graduate primary ITT provision.
Institutional Targets and milestones. 7.1 We do not currently collect data which would be suitable to determine baseline for targets and milestones around trainees needing this support however we may wish to monitor the support in order to ascertain its best use.
Institutional Targets and milestones. 7.1 7.2 We do not currently collect data which would be suitable to determine baseline for targets and milestones around low income or socio-economic groups. However, we will wish to monitor the numbers of students participating in our institution who are in receipt of full or partial state support. We will also wish to develop targets around other under-represented groups if identified. We will seek to maintain or increase the proportion of students in our target groups, but will only be able to set meaningful targets once data is available. Therefore, we commit to return to OFFA to revise this agreement by May 2008, with a view to an amended agreement taking effect from 2008/09.
Institutional Targets and milestones. 25. Annex B provides details of our proposed targets and milestones. In considering the means by which RHUL might seek to measure improvement in the area of widening participation and access for OFFA purposes, we believe that it is important to build upon the work already underway and to choose realistic, but stretching, targets based not only on our recent performance and assessment of where we need to improve on access over the next five years, but also the characteristics of our proposed targeted financial fair access measures. In framing the targets, we have also sought to take into account a range of factors that could substantially increase or decrease the population of students from widening participation backgrounds applying and progressing to RHUL. These include: demographic changes in UK impacting upon the overall characteristics of the HE population, including a substantial and rapid decline in the population of young school leavers; a possible change of uncertain duration in the proportion of entrants from widening participation backgrounds, especially risk-adverse groups, following the introduction of a higher tuition fee and graduate contribution; the impact of the cessation of funding for the Aimhigher project and the demise of Lifelong Learning Networks prior to new fee arrangements; a gradual diminution of socio-economic differences resulting from higher standards of living and increased social mobility, resulting in a declining volume of entrants to higher education categorised as NS-SEC classes 4-7.
Institutional Targets and milestones. 7.1 We have identified, through benchmarking and data collection, our position regarding minority ethnic recruitment and recruitment of males to the teaching profession. Our target for minority ethnic candidates (set by TDA) is one per course from a local ethnic population of around 6%. We achieved our target this year and hope to attract others for the course beginning Sept 2006 through our current leafleting campaign; results will be known by July 2006. Results of our campaigns for 2008 will be known by July 2007. We have been unable, however, to collect data which would be suitable to determine a baseline for targets and milestones around low income or socio-economic groups. However, we will wish to monitor the numbers of students participating in our institution who are in receipt of full or partial state support. We will also wish to develop targets around other under-represented groups if identified.
Institutional Targets and milestones. Through subscription to the Student Loans Company Higher Education Bursary and Scholarship Scheme we are now in a position to monitor the numbers of trainees participating in our institution who are in receipt of full or partial state support. We have also identified other under-represented groups, namely Black and Minority Ethnic and Disabled. We will seek to maintain or increase by 5% the proportion of students in our target groups [Black and Minority Ethnic and Disabled]. This amended agreement takes effect from the 2008/9 academic year
Institutional Targets and milestones. 7.1 The number of HE students directly funded by HEFCE is very small and therefore the setting of detailed targets and milestones is not deemed appropriate. The College, however, will be monitoring the numbers of students participating in our institution who are in receipt of a bursary and full or partial state support. We will be noting the impact of these measures on widening participation as part of our monitoring of our overall HE provision by analysing a range of data including gender, ethnicity, age and disability. We will also be monitoring internal progression and progression from advanced apprenticeships.
Institutional Targets and milestones. We do not currently have sufficient data as we are in our third year and our cohort numbers are small (average 21 per year), which would be suitable to determine baseline for targets and milestones around low income or socio- economic groups. However, we will wish to monitor the numbers of students participating in our institution who are in receipt of full or partial state support. We will also wish to develop targets around other under- represented groups if identified. We will seek to maintain or increase the proportion of students in our target groups, but will only be able to set meaningful targets once data is available. We are committed to maintain and if possible to increase applicants from the target groups.
Institutional Targets and milestones. 7.1 We currently collect data on degree subject of applicants. We currently monitor the numbers of students participating in our institution who are in receipt of full or partial means tested support. We will return to OFFA to amend our agreement once targets have been developed – by May 2010.
