The Department of Education and Science and the Higher Education Authority (HEA) promote and support equity of access to higher education. This is co-ordinated through the National Office for Equity of Access to Higher Education (‘National Access Office’).
Higher Education institutions established Access Offices to support initiatives to target students from under represented socio-economic backgrounds and to support these students in higher education.
In 1997 a group of higher education access officers formed the Access Made Accessible (AMA) Network. The aim of the network is to share ideas, to inform policy and practice and to widen participation to higher education for young adults from under represented socio-economic groups.
