Performance indicators for students from the North East Sample Clauses

Performance indicators for students from the North East. One indicator of the success of the University’s widening participation activities (which necessarily have a regional focus) is the fact that, for students who from the North East, the University consistently exceeds HEFCE / HESA key widening participation benchmarks, with 85.44% from state schools and colleges; 39% from HEFCE social groups 3 and 4, and 21.6% from low participation neighbourhoods (2003 figures). Overall, approximately 23.5% of young entrants were from the North East in 2003. Most of the University’s widening participation challenges thus arise from its application and intake patterns outside the North East region.
