The Higher Education Initial Participation Rate (HEIPR) is the measure of progress towards the Government’s target to increase participation in Higher Education towards 50% of those aged 18 to 30 by 2010.
In October 2004 Professor Brian Ramsden was commissioned by the DfES to undertake an option appraisal regarding the possible disaggregation of the Higher Education Initial Participation Rate (HEIPR) by ethnicity, social class and disability. Professor Ramsden was subsequently asked to extend this remit and to explore the feasibility of disaggregating the total HEIPR by region.
