扩大参与政策的影响以及如何从制度上制定这一政策是高等教育关注的核心问题。它不仅仅是关于录取来自弱势背景的学生,而且还确保这些学生成功地完成他们的课程。因此,这项工作远远超出了那些负责准入和外联的部门,对所有学术和支助服务领域的工作人员都有影响。因此,解释国家政策并将其转化为地方政策的方式可能会影响整个机构。为了引起人们对这些问题的关注,本文将重点研究英国一所精英院校的案例。它将主要集中在学生的选择上,研究选择措施实际上如何复制不平等。因此,它将展示这一方案可能不会改善接受高等教育的机会,而是侧重于确保已经走上高等教育之路的学生优先选择这所学校而不是其他学校。
ABSTRACT The impact of widening participation policy and how it is enacted institutionally is a central concern to Higher Education. It is not simply about the admission of students from disadvantaged backgrounds, but also ensuring that these students complete their courses successfully. This work therefore goes far beyond those departments tasked with access and outreach and has implications for staff across all academic and support service areas. The way in which national policy is interpreted and translated into local policy can therefore affect the whole institution. To bring a spotlight on these issues, this paper will focus on a case study of a single elite institution in England. Focusing primarily on selection of students, it will examine how selection measures can in fact reproduce inequalities. It will therefore demonstrate how this programme may not improve access to Higher Education but instead focuses on ensuring that students already on a path to Higher Education choose this institution in preference to others.
