Main Seminar
Keynote Speakers
According to the Economist, the global tertiary-enrolment ratio – the share of the student-age population at university – went up from 14% to 32% in the two decades to 2012; in that time, the number of countries with a ratio of more than half rose from five to 54. University enrolment is growing faster even than demand for that ultimate consumer good, the car.
However, both market-based and state funding models of satisfying this burgeoning demand have had mixed success at best in getting under-represented groups into higher education. And even when they do, the attainment gap between higher and lower socio-economic groups is still significant, despite a generation of social inclusion policies.
An impressive group of keynote speakers will help us to take on these big issues, including:
Prof. Bertrand Monthubert President, Campus France (FR) Reading the Currents: the outlook for HE access and attainment in France
Baroness Alison Wolf Professor of Public Sector Management, King's College London (UK) A Bleak Future? Universal tertiary education, and what happens if we get it wrong
Rt. Hon. Charles Clarke Former UK Education and Home Secretary (UK) The Political Economy of Higher Education Financing Policy
Prof. Les Ebdon Director of the Office for Fair Access to Higher Education (UK) Why universities should do more to promote social mobility
Dr. Michael Harms Director of Communications, German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) (DE) No Fees, No Problem? Access to and affordability of German Higher Education
Alexandra Rosenbach Chief Strategy Advisor Internationalisation, Maastricht University (NL) Money Talks: access, affordability and attainment in Dutch Higher Education: creating an inspiring and diverse international classroom at Maastricht University
With additional presentations from:
Prof. Bo-Anders Jönsson - Pro-Dean, University of Lund (SE) - Recent developments in higher education access and educational attainment policy in Sweden: a University of Lund perspective
Andy Moss - Senior Vice President, Pearson Education (UK) - Transforming educational attainment: innovations and developments in the for profit HE sector
Nadine Almanasfi and Aaron Porter - Post-graduate student and former student president, and former National Union of Students President (UK) - A student representative’s perspective of the access and attainment agenda and what the future holds
Doreen Thompson, Billy Reed and KCL students - Widening Participation Unit, King’s College London (UK) - Widening Participation and social inclusion strategy at King’s College London
