University of Westminster Associates in Schools. Student Associates are recruited and selected to work as classroom assistants in schools and colleges, particularly in local areas with high indications of disadvantaged communities. This supports the need to increase selection of students from Low Participation Neighbourhoods (LPNs); currently 5.9% of Westminster‟s students come from this group (against a benchmark of 6.7%). This scheme, formerly funded by the Training and Development Agency (TDA), has been revised to operate as a scheme solely for University of Westminster students and it is wholly resourced by the University. It will be extended to additional colleges in 2013.
