How should parents or carers prior educational experience of higher education be taken into account?
Given that we have identified the target group as set out in the response to question 1 above, we expect that few will have parents and/or carers who have themselves had experience of higher education (HE). Since those whose parents and/or carers have experience of HE are more likely themselves to enter HE, it is entirely appropriate that we should prioritise learners whose parents and/or carers do not have that experience. Our targeting guidance will ensure that this happens and means that parental education need not be a criterion in its own right.
