We're now at the start of the first school year where LLMs like ChatGPT are available.

🚨 Young people from low-income homes are more likely to become a high earner if they attend university, our research has found.

Our research has shown how universities are vehicles of social mobility.

Efforts to widen access to higher education must be continued.
