2015 - “Girls are doing better throughout primary, secondary and higher education than boys; poor, white boys are the most disadvantaged group in entry to higher education and the gap is getting bigger.”

2016 - "Too much of the differences that exist today have been driven by groups that have been left behind, as entry rates have increased, and are seemingly overlooked by outreach activities.

A good example is the difference between men and women. We report that this has reached record levels this year, with 36.8 per cent of UK young women entering higher education compared to 27.2 per cent of men, a record gap of 9.6 percentage points. Three quarters of the lowest entry rate fifth of the population is male. I’ve encountered many arguments as to why this doesn’t merit concerted action, but remain unconvinced. For example, it isn’t true that men are over-represented at top universities. Women are now 32 per cent more likely than men to enter higher tariff universities, up from 28 per cent just a year ago."
