The Access Gap The evidence was stark: despite years of effort from universities, schools, and government, students from state schools were substantially less likely to be offered a place at a top university than those from independent schools, even if they had identical grades. In short, at a crucial time in their lives young people were disadvantaged by an ‘access gap’: an underlying disparity in support that reduces the chances of state school applicants reaching their full potential.
