ENCOUNTERS WITH FURTHER AND HIGHER EDUCATION
All pupils/learners should understand the full range of learning opportunities that are available to them. This includes both academic and technical and vocational routes and learning in schools, colleges, universities and in the workplace.
FOR SCHOOLS:
By the age of 16, every pupil should have had a meaningful encounter* with providers of the full range of learning opportunities, including sixth forms, colleges, universities and apprenticeship providers. This should include the opportunity to meet both staff and pupils.
By the age of 18, all pupils who are considering applying for university should have had at least two visits to universities to meet staff and pupils.
* A ‘meaningful’ encounter is one in which the student has an opportunity to explore what it’s like to learn in that environment.
