BBC News | LEAGUE TABLES | Social inclusion in higher education

The government wants to widen access to higher education and has urged universities to ensure that they are taking students from all social groups.

An indicator of this used by the university funding councils is the proportion of state school pupils in an institution.

This table shows the percentage of state school pupils for young, full-time undergraduate students from state schools at universities, based on data from 1998-99.

The tables also include a "benchmark" - a weighted figure for what the funding council believes the university should be achieving.
