Figure 4. Summary of previous recommendations on how to close the award gap between white and BAME undergraduate students.

Figure 4.

Recommendations are from three major UK original research reports: ECU and HEA, 2008; Berry and Loke, 2011; Amos and Doku, 2019. Reports were selected based on the depth and breadth of the data, the number of participating higher education institutions (HEIs) and representation across the past decade. The recommendations from each report were then assigned to seven different categories based on the language used to describe them. For example, characteristics of ‘HEI culture’, ‘student experience’ and 'racism' were grouped together, and ‘change curriculum’ encompasses recommendations with terms such as diversify, decolonise, internationalise, and make more inclusive. N = 197 recommendations; 168 participating HEIs total: 99 HEIs partnered with the UK National Union of Students and Universities UK; and 69 HEIs worked with the Equality Challenge Unit and the Higher Education Academy (now AdvanceHE).
