Office For Fair Access - Aims

Aims

OFFA states that it has three core aims:

  1. To support and encourage improvements in participation rates in higher education from low income and other under-represented groups
  2. To reduce as far as practicable the barriers to higher education for students from low income and other under-represented groups by ensuring that institutions continue to invest in outreach and financial support
  3. To support and encourage equality of opportunity through the provision of clear and accessible financial information for students, their parents/carers and their advisers.


These aims are primarily delivered through implementation of approved access agreements, and OFFA's work in monitoring access agreements and disseminating their view of good practice.

    “Ideally, advertising aims at the goal of a programmed harmony among all human impulses and aspirations and endeavors. Using handicraft methods, it stretches out toward the ultimate electronic goal of a collective consciousness.”
