    LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION – the Widening Education Gap in Britain and How Where You Live Determines Your Chances

    LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION – the widening education gap in Britain and how where you live determines your chances Contents Executive summary Top and worse 20 for degrees National rank no qualification National rank degree London Major UK cities Executive summary Where you live will determine your chances of educational success and people living in traditionally underachieving areas are proportionately less likely to have a degree now than they were at the last election. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION – the widening education gap in Britain and how where you live determines your chances report from the University and College Union (UCU) analyses educational achievement by Westminster parliamentary constituency in England, Scotland and Wales and ranks each according to the percentage of people with at least some qualifications and the percentage of people with a degree or above. Research has shown that the cost to the UK economy of educational underachievement is over £18 billion a year*. This report shows how access to education is divided up, using national league tables and an analysis of 21 of our biggest cities. It shows that where you live is a key determinant of whether you will gain qualifications. The result is a country of stark contrasts – a true postcode lottery for education. To take one example, two out of three people (60%) living in Nick Clegg’s Sheffield Hallam constituency have a degree and only 3% have no qualifications at all. However, just down the road in David Blunkett’s Sheffield Brightside constituency almost a quarter of people (23%) have no qualifications and just 15% have a degree.
