About
University of Wolverhampton awarded a contract to LKMco cic for the evaluation of the Aspire to HE National Collaborative Outreach Programme (NCOP) project over the 2019/2020 period.
The Aspire to HE consortium delivers sustained, progressive, intensive outreach activity to targeted cohorts of learners in years 9 to 13 in identified wards, aiming to increase the number of students from disadvantaged backgrounds entering higher education.
The evaluation focused on measuring the progression of young people onto prescribed higher education courses, with success defined by the rate of young participation—the proportion of the cohort entering HE at ages 18 and 19—in the target wards.
The contract value was £46,560.
