1. Implementing the HEFCE guidance: Achieving Targeting Targets?Chris Carpenter & Mike Kerrigan Aimhigher National Conference7th October 2009
3. HEFCE Targeting Guidance (2007)
4. Stage one: Area Level HEFCE Targeting Guidance
Identify schools, colleges and communities where disadvantage is concentrated, and where resources should be directed
Our approach
IMD Maps to indicate deprived communities and for context
School/college profiles
5. Example IMD Maps:Bassetlaw District and Nottingham City
6. Example School profile(simplified version)
7. Stage 2: Learner Level HEFCE Targeting Guidance
Most intensive interventions (equivalent to Cat2?)– e.g. mentoring, master classes, summer schools
Make judgements as to which learners (from disadvantaged backgrounds) will benefit most from provision
Our approach
Postcodes database
LA support to identify cohorts
8. Identifying cohorts
9. Stage three: Monitoring theeffectiveness of targeting procedures HEFCE Targeting Guidance
Collection of key data: NS-SEC, IMD, parental HE experience
Improved targeting depends on improved monitoring
67% participants from 40% most deprived areas
67% participants from NS-SEC 4-8
Our approach
Collection of participant data
Monitoring & Evaluation Database
10. Collecting and using data
11. Coding occupations for NS-SEC Single open question method:
What is the occupation of the highest earning parent/carer currently living in the household?
Input by areas into M&E database and extracted by AhEM for coding centrally (giving consistency)
New occupations coded manually using ONS listing as a guide
Occupations added to a lookup once coded to automatically code future occurrences
Around 60-70% of occupations now automatically coded by lookup - this figure is continually increasing
12. Results summary
13. Taking populations into account…
14. AhEM Collective: IMD
15. AhEM Collective: NS-SEC
16. AhEM Collective: POLAR2 qYPR
17. Monitoring school/college targeting
18. Your questions…
19. Discussion groups… Problems in implementing targeting procedures. Any solutions?
Issues with using FFT (potential to succeed) data in identifying cohorts
Monitoring of targeting: Cohort data vs. Participant data
Are Category 1 and Category 2 classifications of any use?
