Aimhigher Greater Merseyside is a partnership across the region working to inspire, motivate and enable young people to succeed and progress to higher education.

Aimhigher is a government initiative and its chief purpose is to support widening participation in higher education, enabling a greater proportion of young people from traditionally under represented groups access to a higher education opportunity.

Our vision is that by 2010 every young resident from Greater Merseyside with the potential capability and who wishes to take up a higher education opportunity will be able to do so, so that the proportion of under 30 year olds taking up higher education opportunities approaches 50%. Aimhigher Greater Merseyside is a wide partnership that includes:

Schools

Further Education Colleges

Universities

Colleges of Higher Education

Connexions Greater Merseyside

Work Based Learning Providers

Learning and Skills Council

Community Groups

Employers

Aimhigher Greater Merseyside are involved in a huge range of widening participation activities through the year. Every school and college in the region has an Aimhigher coordinator who will be able to tell you more about what we do or contact the Aimhigher Directorate or Local Authority Aimhigher Coordinators for more information.
