A new Universities UK (UUK) report released this week, ‘Working in Partnership: enabling social mobility in higher education’, has made a series of recommendations for higher education providers, schools, colleges and employers to improve social mobility in higher education in England.

We are very pleased to hear that Dr Mpoki Mwaikokesya, who graduated with a PhD in Adult Education from the University of Glasgow in 2014, has been appointed by the Namibian National Higher Education Council to work as a member and chairperson of a team to review Degree and Diploma programmes in Lifelong Learning and Community Education within the country. We are very glad that his excellent work in Glasgow is being recognised internationally.
