| Abstract: | This article discusses patterns of participation in higher education (HE) in Wales, in the context of the devolution of powers over HE to National Assembly for Wales and the Welsh Assembly Government. This democratic devolution has resulted in the introduction of arrengements for student finance which are quite distinctive from those in other parts of the UK. Trends in participation among Welsh-domiciled young people show little evidence of effects from these arrangements. Analysis of the geography of participation within Wales does reveal some evidence of convergence between areas of low and high participation. Furthermore, the flows of students into and out of Wales is much larger than for other parts of the UK. |
