UPP Foundation – A Student Futures Manifesto

7^th April 2022

The UPP Foundation established the Student Futures Commission, chaired by Mary Currnock-Cook, in early 2021. It set out to understand how the pandemic was affecting new and current students and to work with them and the higher education sector to identify what could be done to get students back on track for successful futures. The report is based on two polls of students, taken in May and October 2021, three formal oral evidence sessions with 20 experts from across higher education, students’ unions, business, and the wider sector, and an evidence session for five students’ unions. It also involved three campus visits, roundtables, and focus groups, a survey of vice-chancellors, and written evidence

Mary is attending the CUC Plenary on 26 April where she will discuss her experience as Chair of the Student Futures Commission.
