Student choice sits at the heart of IHE’s mission, woven through our values of diversity, flexibility, innovation, student focus, and collaboration. We believe every student should be able to shape a higher education journey that fits their time, pace, and preferred environment.
IHE's Inclusive Practice project report explores how IHE Members build inclusive environments for students often underrepresented in traditional models showing how, especially for smaller providers, inclusive design offers real choice and better outcomes.
The purpose of this project was threefold:
- To understand the strengths of independent providers in removing barriers that underrepresented groups experience before, during and after higher education study; and therefore, the contribution they can make to achieving equality of opportunity and student choice.
- To support the further development of good practice amongst IHE Members and more widely.
- To demonstrate the impact that inclusive practice could have in addressing risks to equality of opportunity, providing an alternative to the current regulatory focus on targeted interventions.
