Launching today: Who gets in? 🎓 Our new research reveals almost 1 in 3 English unis under-enrolling disadvantaged students - even when they meet the entry requirements. To track this, we built the Social Mobility Coefficient - a ranking comparing unis. 🧵👇

“If you're from a lower socioeconomic background, you're 2.5 times more likely to be NEET… and that is just not fair.” Deputy Chair @ReshamKotecha sets out why the growing number of young people who are NEET is a critical social mobility challenge and a key focus for us.

The PM is right: Too many young people are held back by a lack of opportunity, not a lack of ambition. Our upcoming NEETs report explores young people’s lived experiences, looking at how education, family and the local economy affect their daily lives and routes into work.

When I talk to young people about work, the same thing keeps coming up. Not a lack of ambition - a lack of a way in. One million young people in this country are not in education, work or training. That's around one in eight. And six in ten of them have never had a job at all.

Our Data Explorer tool is growing. Our latest update adds social mobility data for 94 universities in England, allowing students, parents, universities and policy makers to explore detailed benchmarks on access and social mobility.
