This independent report from CFE Research for the Department for the Economy (the Department) reviews the progress that has been made towards achieving the vision set out in Northern Ireland's (NI) first strategy for widening participation (WP) in higher education (HE), Access to Success. It explores how the HE landscape and WP practice has evolved over the last 10 years; the extent to which the participation rate of the groups identified in the strategy has increased; and the prevailing barriers to HE for those groups who are, or remain, under-represented, and effective ways to address them. Insights from the analysis inform a series of recommendations to help shape a future approach to access and participation in NI.
