ROTA CONFERENCE
Before the AGM, there will be a special conference: "Thwarted ambitions" Why do some students choose to withdraw from University?.
ROTA's Pilot Study on Higher Education indicates that UK-domiciled students from Global Majority and Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities are more likely to withdraw from university than white students.
What are the factors that influence their choices? Does race discrimination play a part? Please take time to look at this Report, which can be accessed here: rota.org.uk/thwarted-ambitions
The Pilot Study addresses issues which you may have personal experience or knowledge of if you study or work in the HE sector or are concerned about educational equity and opportunity. We want to hear what you think.
There conference will be chaired by Professor Gus John, Academic and an Equality and Human Rights Campaigner.
