World Access to Higher Education Day
World Access to Higher Education Day (WAHED) 2018 is organized on the 28 November 2018 in the UK and in Australia. The event is an attempt to initiate larger collaboration between organizations working towards equality in education and aims to facilitate dialogue. WAHED is organized by the UK National Education Opportunities Network (NEON), which is a professional organization that supports widening access and equity in higher education in the UK. NEON has set itself four objectives, namely to widen access through the development and accreditation of practice, to be a research and advocacy resource, to enhance quality in widening access work and to support policy-makers and government.While Orange Magazine will not attend the conference physically, we very much believe in the idea behind the event. Orange Magazine aims to provide journalistic experience and practice to young journalists.
Patricia Senge sat down with the director of NEON, Dr. Graeme Atherton, to discuss the issue of global inequality to access to higher education.
