    SB 13/2014 Students in Higher Education Institutions, 2012/13

    SB 13/2014 20 February 2014 Students in Higher Education Institutions – Wales, 2012/13 This Bulletin provides information about students enrolled at Welsh Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and Welsh domiciled Higher Education (HE) students enrolled at HEIs throughout the UK in the 2012/13 academic year. The data included are taken primarily from the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) Student Record and based on the HESA standard registration population, which includes student enrolments throughout the year. Summary of main findings Compared with 2011/12, enrolments at Welsh HEIs fell by 2 per cent in 2012/13, whilst HE enrolments by Welsh domiciled students at UK HEIs saw a slightly smaller decrease of one per cent. The two per cent fall in enrolments was evenly split between full-time postgraduate and full-time undergraduate enrolments. Part-time enrolments at Welsh HEIs have fallen from around 51,000 in 2006/07 to just below 36,000 in 2012/13, a 30 per cent decrease. Overall there were 101,270 Welsh domiciled enrolments to HE at UK HEIs in 2012/13, approximately 800 fewer than in the previous year. Enrolments of Welsh students peaked in 2004/05, with a downward trend in numbers since then. The fall in part-time undergraduate enrolments has been the main factor in the overall decrease in numbers. In 2012/13, there were 21,610 Welsh domiciled enrolments at UK HEIs outside of Wales and 33,080 enrolments at Welsh HEIs from students normally resident elsewhere in the UK. Wales remained a net importer of students, although the net flow into Wales fell by 12 per cent in 2012/13.

    Connected Communities ICT use and connectivity of minority communities in Wales Panayiota Tsatsou Ian Stafford Gary Higgs Richard Fry Robert Berry 1 ICT USE AND CONNECTIVITY OF MINORITY COMMUNITIES IN WALES ICT use and connectivity of minority communities in Wales Panayiota Tsatsou Ian Stafford Gary Higgs Richard Fry Robert Berry Executive Summary This project has aimed to gain an understanding of the impact of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) on changing cultures and patterns of connectivity within and between minority communities and the potential of multifaceted digital divides in constraining or shaping these forms of connectivity. It has used Wales as a test-bed and focused on ethnic communities (and their language and cultural attributes) and people with disabilities. The project activities ranged from reviewing the literature and existing research to undertaking stakeholder engagement activities. The project findings highlight that ICTs and the Internet are perceived as being key to promoting community connectivity in contemporary society and that the minority communities are at risk of both social and digital exclusion. There is clear anecdotal evidence that these communities require bespoke policy which reflects their specific needs and requirements. However, the evidence provided in existing (mostly quantitative) research data fails to adequately explore these issues and „grey data‟ is both difficult to identify and access. Therefore there is a clear rationale for developing more qualitative, fine grained, community-based

    Between the Generations in Wales Raising the Profile Of

    Between the Generations In Wales Raising the Profile of Intergenerational Practice March 2007 For Lloyds TSB Foundation for England and Wales Foreword Intergenerational Practice (IP) is an innovative response to the issues raised by the progressive ageing of the Welsh population, more than 28 per cent of which will be over the age of 60 by 2020. It is, therefore, a vital strand of the Welsh Assembly Government Strategy for Older People in Wales, which aims to encourage a coordinated and effective response to this issue through collaboration between different community partners, such as the Welsh Assembly Government, local government and the voluntary and private sector. The strategy makes a specific commitment to developing intergenerational linkages in Wales and I was, therefore, delighted to approve the Beth Johnson Foundation for Assembly funding of £87,000 over three years to develop and implement a Welsh IP strategy. While IP is being developed strongly in a number of areas of the UK, I believe that this will be the first time that it has been linked to a national strategy. The Cymru Centre for Intergenerational Practice (CCIP), through its work with the Beth Johnson Foundation, has already developed an impressive range of local IP approaches and projects – a sample of which are outlined in this booklet. Hard work has been rewarded with tangible progress and visible results: intergenerational work in Wales has already contributed to the breakdown of harmful stereotypes by providing a framework for the young and old to adopt an active role in helping themselves and their own communities, together.

It supports national and regional strategies which stress the need for widening access and increasing participation within higher education. Four stages of education are identified within a continuum of learning which covers the developmental lifespan. First is compulsory education in primary and secondary schools, with a special emphasis on helping teenagers who lack confidence or motivation. Second, disadvantaged young adults who join universities, and the need for special campus based support through the development of retention initiatives. Third, continuing professional development and work-based learning for employees who find it difficult to visit a university campus. Fourth, community based learners who are especially linked with unemployment or retirement. The case study emphasises the value of using non-threatening learning environments which then lead to other things. It concludes with the recognition of the need for diverse and flexible progression pathways which emerge for students of all ages as they gain in confidence. These pathways begin with workshop or project based activity which is essentially non-assessed but which can lead in to more mainstream awards in further and higher education.

  • Higher Education Reconfiguration

    Higher Education Reconfiguration

    Members’ Research Service: Topic Brief Gwasanaeth Ymchwil yr Aelodau: Papur Byr Higher Education Reconfiguration Introduction The Welsh Assembly Government (WAG) decided in 2002 that in order for the higher education (HE) sector in Wales to reduce overhead costs, and to attract research investment, it would require reconfiguration. The detail of this proposal is available in the WAG policy document Reaching Higher i. In the same year, in response to Reaching Higher, the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales (HEFCW) launched the ‘Reconfiguration and Collaboration’ (R&C) fund to support the reshaping of the sector in the interests of achieving major performance gains and enhanced competitiveness. During the first phase of this fund, 2002-04, the fund supported the merger of Cardiff University with the University of Wales, College of Medicine, in 2004. In 2004 the Minister for Education and Lifelong Learning reiterated the WAG’s commitment to the reconfiguration of the HE sector. Following an appraisal of the sector’s performance, HEFCW launched the second phase of the R&C fund, to run from 2004/05 until further notice. In reporting to the Education, Lifelong Learning and Skills Committee in 2006, HEFCW voiced concerns about meeting the targets set by the WAG in Reaching Higher. Specifically targets relating to reducing administrative costs and attracting more research fundingii. Recent progress on the reconfiguration agenda has included the merger of Merthyr College and the University of Glamorgan, a strategic alliance being formed between the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama and the University of Glamorgan, and the establishment of several research and enterprise partnerships Progress since 2002 Successful Merger On 1 December 2004, Cardiff University and the University of Wales, College of Medicine formally merged into one institution with more than 5,000 staff, 22,000 students and an annual turnover of £300 million iii.
